Naturally, I can't write every time I get one of your postcards, but let me reassure you that I look at each one of them. Furthermore, as an older person and longtime devotee of the arts, your work is extremely beautiful and consistently so from day to day. I don't speak French, but let me just sent a heartfelt "merci" your way.

What a lovely painting - I remember those "red" fields of flowers very well -

Gail

Oh Julian, that is lovely....the poppies in all their glory, ripe cherries, and NO WIND! Until next year, your postcards will keep me dreaming (and painting). Best to all. Gail

Even by your high standards Julian, this is rather special, as Janet has said, this one really sparkles.

My art instructor, Dan Petrov suggested I look at your website. Your work is truly beautiful! I look forward to each of your posts.

Best,
Carol

Just came from a very long and very trying business meeting for the "day-job"... and there is the Poppy field and cabanon. Cannot tell you how much I long for that view, that air, and the joy of struggling with phthalo green. Your work consistently helps me continue the course - though thousands of miles away.

Thanks Julian for another delicious painting. Everyday I think this is it ..it can't get better but it does. Your colors are so rich and clean. I'd love to see a painting or a photo of your palette and how the colors are laid out. Do you paint only with oils or have you used other mediums.

Painter’s notes

Everything has been delayed a few weeks by the unseasonably cold weather, so cherries are just coming into fruit and poppy fields are still there for the painting!
