Oh, so gorgeous. Love being able to see the brushstrokes of all that color. Thanks for the smoothly accessible website. Wish I were there, painting with the class and walking in the countryside. Takes me back to drawing with oil pastels many, many years ago. Who knows--maybe I could do something again. A good excuse to head to the Ventoux, n'est-ce pas?
Dear Julian, love the monks bread, looked up the monastery, what wonderful goodies, that olive oil, honey soap, Beaume de Venice etc. etc. How lovely, the hunk of bread is probably made the same way for eons. It looks wonderful in the painting, chewy and perhaps a little salty! A rich bean soup would do nicely with it! Hope the weather improves and thanks for letting us follow your days and be inspired!
Anna.
I love the dark background, which adds a calm depth to your painting, Julian.
By the way, you must be a very good teacher, and your groups are doing terrific - many must be seasoned artists to begin with. I have enjoyed looking at their works, too.
