Brilliant Julian, I really do look forward to seeing your paintings especially

your still life paintings. Your landscapes are excellent also. Still lives just

win my heart.

Brilliant work, excellent form and colour.

Dear Julian, perfect, a soft rainy day, good for the new fresh growth, nice when you know there are hotter, drier days in store!!
The onion is lovely, begging to be peeled, cut and sautéed. By the way, how is the painter's potager?

Beautiful Julian, and you have described my favourite start to a day, misty and light rain, without much wind I'm guessing.
Love this onion too, I can almost reach out and touch the papery skin through my computer screen.

This painting has nice depth to it, and I love how you rendered the loose skin on it.

Painter’s notes

We woke to mist which slowly developed into light rain; perfect light for a little still life
