I will be delighted to show this to Belle. When a 6 year old pops up with "What is Julian's painting for today? We haven't seen one for a while?," you HAVE to know the big people miss you.

Venice sliding into Autumn is a lovely time to be there..thank you for a lovely reminder.

My BT website changed its format and I became worried pictures may not be coming through..now can relax....

Happy Time..

Another one of your paintings that makes me take a deep breath, sigh exquisitely, and feel that peace in the world is possible, if only in small vignettes. Thank you for moments of pure pleasure.

My birthday today, and I have just returned from my first trip to Venice - how did you know? So thank you, I love it!

Dear Julian, La Serenissima never loses her magic! Very romantic, very dreamy, a touch of Sargent here. Would love to see your treatment of some decrepit old palazzo façade, fear not, you couldn't make it trite even if you tried!

Even though the sloping dark foliage has something disturbing,lampposts in the distance fortunately sing that life is still there; our dear artist "JMS" sat in an ineffable green grass looks at the fearless wavelets that try to wash over the white path as to tell him: "the atmosphere here sparkles with life"! Julian smiles. And thereat,I seem to hear the muffled melody of a Mahler symphony...I am so happy to be alive.

So beautiful ... now I want to visit Venice :) You are amazing Julian! Please give my love to Ruth and Louis! Hope y'all are having oh so much fun *smile* hugs ...

Alain

Your young blog is wonderful! And what you write is so humane and optimistic.I wish you long life and good health. Best regards

Painter’s notes

We are in Venice for the week, introducing Louis to a car-free world of boats, fish and pasta (not that Louis and pasta need any introduction)
