“This is one of those rather funny examples of reality v. the painting... I had to again (sorry for the previous grammatical error/confusion) paint with my feet in the water, but being a bank holiday in August the the river was chock-a-block with kayaks and Ruth and Louis had to police the bank saying "my husband is trying to paint this scene, would you mind picnicking elsewhere"? I meanwhile, was hiding under a bankside tree.. pictures on facebook at some point...we are camping!”

The things we do for love! Great painting, great fun
Gorgeous!
Your life and family sound so wonderful. My late husband and I used to camp along the Rio Grande River between Texas and Mexico. I miss those young days, but not sleeping on rocky ground in a little pup tent! I love that you were painting?with your feet?.er?ah?in the water! I was in Aix for 4 weeks last summer ('13)?and got a chance to paint Mt. St.Victoire while standing in the same spot as Cezzane painted it?.Of course, it's CEZZANE's mountain, not mine?but it was a good feeling, and most inspiring. One day I will take one of your workshops. Provence is a marvelous place?and your paintings are beautiful.
When nature becomes grand..and looks wonderful enlarged..
And happy camping memories for years to come
This one's a beaut! Happy camping
Alain took my word - gorgeous! Have fun camping!
Forgive me, I did not do it on purpose.
Regards
Love this.
Superb !
Extraordinary ? even for you, Julian. Subtle color, restrained values, striking composition and a beautiful sense of light and atmosphere. Makes me think of Sargent's "camping" paintings.
Unfortunate that the enlargement pop-up isn't working for this one; looks like there's some wonderful texture in the brush marks.
Fixed now! Wow, I was right. The brush marks in the water are the water.
Your blog is great! One of my favorites now.
Regards
Thanks, Alain. If you search, you will find a number of mentions of Julian's work, going back as far as 2006.
Your blog is rich, instructive and above all, shows a high open-mindedness about Art. So many "unknown" artists to discover. Thanks for that.
