Julian I love your paintings you are very talented. I'm a painter and would love to come and have lessons from you, thinking very seriously about next year, do you have classes in May?

Teri Robus

Oh my goodness ... it is hard to believe these are ripening somewhere in the world when my world is still full of cold and snow. Thank you so much for this taste of spring!

C-Marie

Absolutely gorgeous!! I can hardly wait for Mother's Day as I am always treated to homemade strawberry shortcake with beautifully whipped cream!! Jesus loves you and yours!!! C-Marie USA

Rosemary

Ahhh! I love your travel works very, very much, and hope you had a wonderful time, but there is just something, I guess, reassuring about seeing your tabletop gems again.

The strawberries are simply luscious and announce that you are happy, and home safe and sound. Thank you, Rosemary

Elaine Culbert

Oh wow! Look at how succulent they look.

Wonderful job! You are amazing, Julian, and I'm so envious.

Demetrio

Very nice brushwork. Love the blue accents around the strawberry on the right.

Anna Howard

Dear Julian, you seem fully settled back in your garden of delights! I am sure we all draw a sigh of relief!
You have a way with strawberries, this could be a 17th century Dutch still leven, luscious!!
Anna.

Oh my how juicy and plump...lovely color. With a little whip, they would taste good too!! Yummooo... ¦~}

Painter’s notes

The first of the Carpentras strawberries—delicious eaten on the terrace in the (n)early spring sunshine
