Not being from France, I found the extreme pruning of the plane trees particularly painful. Perhaps I should have learned from this glorious country. Perhaps my 100 year old vine would not have been blown down in the winter wind.

I may have said this before, but I think no one portrays the sunlight on this seasons' leaves quite as well as you.

Julian, I've never been to your part of the world, but you sure make it feel like I have. Your range of greens is superb. Very inspiring. Thank You

Always a delight to see your work. Such a contrast from the Wild West coast of NZ where I live, my " plain air" paintings are mainly in watercolour, quicker to dry. All the best in the world, regards, Grant Hudson

Painter’s notes

The vines and some trees are just starting to turn, though one forgets that the pruning of vines and village plane trees can be sudden and brutal in France—you wake up one morning and it suddenly looks like winter!
