BEAUTIFUL, JULIAN! I did my first still life this afternoon, took all afternoon, thanks for the lesson. Miss you all and France! Jessie

Fabulous grey-blue in the distance!And I like the opposition between the lightness of the foreground and the heaviness of the foliage.

Dear Julian, glad you are taking "time off" in the studio and not battling the elements all the time!
The paintings in the Sault series are all beautiful and subtle.
Todays image of the majestic tree and the very soothing green foreground is very alluring. The glimpsed fields of lavender and foliage are beautifully captured.
Anna.

i do love trees, julian, and this is a beautiful green lush one. but i am wondering what kind of tree it is. (it is lush green here in Florida since we have had rain rain and rain.) thanks as always for yr paintings. grace

Hi Julian,
You provided shade for many of us who are feeling the heat of the sun this hot month of July. When you first glance at your painting it welcomes you to come on in and enjoy the coolness under the tree branches. Love the bold tree structure. Great colors and tones. Enjoy your comfortable studio heat can be dangerous. Take care Julian enjoy all of your wonderful art.

Painter’s notes

This was one of the many options I was presented with when I set up my easel in Sault the other day, I chose another view but took a photo and hence spent this afternoon in the calm of the studio (out of the hot and stormy weather).
