How I wish less people knew about your art, and I might have a chance at obtaining one. And this would be the one!

All but I guess that is selfish. Congratulations this is beautiful!

Heidi Shedlock

Simply stunning.....I would love to own these roses....Julian you are a master!

Elinor Stone

You are a magic maker. A painting of this radiance makes it all worth while.

Elaine Culbert

Beautiful peonies. It will be a good two months here in Ontario, Canada before we see roses!

I admire how you paint shadows, yet one can still easily see the edges of the lovely green vase.

Thank you!

Alain

No no no, I am sure this painting was not done by a terrestrial creature! Impossible!
Because everything here is divine.
JMS...Jupiter Mars Saturn?

My sentiments are like Sunny's. I immediately went to the auction page to see what the bid was. Alas, I will have to wait for another beauty to show up when the timing is right. However, who ever gets this painting, it will be worth every penny and more. Bravo, Julian!

Dear Julian,
late last night, tucked up in bed,I was listening to the midnight news on BBC 4,didn't want to hear more misery,
checked my phone, hoping there might be a new "PostcardfromProvence". To lull me to sleep and conjure up sweet dreams.
And there it was, dreamy pink,almost blown, roses. In a deep green glazed vase with a magic highlight opening a window on to old Provence.
Anna.

Dear Julian,was the server down for a while?Tried twice,now I don't want to repeat what feels stale!Just to say the roses are yet another brilliant masterpiece!
Anna.

Painter’s notes

This is painted over a Venice painting that didn't make the cut last autumn—I had nothing the right size prepared. The roses appeared in yesterday's painting peaking out of the shade next to the house.
