What did I say about your landscapes!!? This is such a prime example of why I love them so much!

Shirley Fachilla

Don't know if this was done plein air but it has all the virtues of a good plein air piece. It's crisp, fresh with such a spontaneous, immediate feeling about it. Makes me feel as though I'm there with you in the snow.

Dear Julian,
I can smell wood smoke and pine resin, feel the coolness in the blue shadows and taste the snow! Just a mild case of "intoxication" caused by getting lost in the painting!
P.S. I am very disappointed that Alain, our
surrealist poet,have decided to give up
commenting. We need more Alains in this crass world.Could he be persuaded to return at some point?
Anna.

Love the feel of the sunlight that you capture in your landscapes, even when there is snow on the ground.

(I agree - we need Alain's comments back.)

Painter’s notes

A cabin (chalet) up on the Mont Ventoux—our recent heavy rain gave a good dusting of snow up near Chalet Reynard (alt. 4800') a steep 15mins drive from our little hamlet
