And the Prince charming whispered:
- I offer you my shivery heart in a plate, like a pink boat floating on a tumultuous river of permanent green leaves, but stay with me!"
Unfortunately,his beloved pink princess suddenly disappeared in the background,washed away by the green floods...
- O my rosebud, my tender rosebud, I can't live without you any longer!"
Now the river is desperately empty, only a blue reflection remains, and foam...And silence.

Thank goodness you have made peace with pink.
The painting is lovely.
Your other flower paintings are too. More!

Elaine Culbert

Simply beautiful. Oh how I wish I had a poetic way with words, like Alain!

Lovely job, Julian!

Annette

After watching your work since the early days, I can still be surprised at how well you handle each surface, each color and each subject. Each one unique. This one is glorious.

Evelyn

I'm glad you have nothing against pink. Now we get to enjoy another masterpiece by you and a beautiful poem by Alain as a result!

Dear Julian, you're in the pink!! I am feasting my eyes on this!
You were absolutely right to paint a very pale peony next to the rich green pot on Monday.
Here, with the roses in rich, saturated pink hues placed on a creamy white cloth with a blue stripe, is perfection.
Your colour compositions are always spot on!
Anna.

Your recent flower paintings have a lighter than air quality; it is almost as if the petals (and strawberry stems) are ready to fly away. So as they likely will in reality, the moment is preserved in your painting for all your viewers to enjoy.

Alain

Thanks. But I have decided to comment provided Julian paintings inspire me. I do not want to "systematically" write as I did it some years ago.Inspiration generally comes spontaneously and immediately as I discover the painting right from the very start. If I must "think" first, I know it will not be a good comment. "Primal instinct"... Your blog shows very pleasant works and I feel that you have a great pictorial knowledge and talent.Your paintings look deceptively simple: this is the sure sign of mastery.
