Thank you Julian, we had a quiet but good New Year just the two of us together! No children (adults now)!
Enjoyed the laying of paint in your onions!
Regards

Julian, Happy New Year to yourself and family. I hope you all had great

Christmas. Just received your email after writing the above.

The onions are another great painting.

It was a delight to see your painting, a great inspiration to us all.

Happy and Healthy New Year to All

Incredible onions...maybe background too dark?

Alain

Happy New Year Julian.
Wonderful harmony. It seems that you have first put the pastes in big amounts directly on the canvas and then,taken your brush and modelled, kneaded the shapes in full paste, physically. As Van Gogh did it so well. Dulcet sensuous and very tactile painting.

Chris

Pleased you are back. May 2014 be a wonderful year for you and your family. Love the onions!

Barbara M

Happy New Year Julian, Ruth and Louis and to the viewers. May 2014 bring peace to all. BM

Of all your paintings, your onions and garlic are my favorites - I love the dance of color within something so familiar.

Susan Johnson

I had no idea onions could be so lovely. Happy New Year to you and your family. May the year bring you much satisfaction and challenge.

Dear Julian,have a fulfilling and creative 2014,as yet a blank page, or should I say canvas.
Rembrandt's kitchen,beautiful onions waiting to be chopped for a Carbonnade a la Flamande!

Painter’s notes

Happy New Year! A few of the onions that didn't get used in the various stocks and stuffings—we had a great time, hope you did too
