I just have to comment. I have a smile on my face. This is great. I just love it. Sooo expressive.

Frank Robertson

It is very expressionistic and inviting. Where's the long wavy hair? I love the seemingly simplicity of your work; although I know there's much more than what meets the eye.

I was just thinking of you doing portraits, and now I see a new one! I assume you have painted Ruth and Louis at times, but you probably wouldn't auction those off, so we never get to see those, although I'd like to see one. The reason I was thinking of your portraits was because I was drawing portraits yesterday .

Dear Julian, this is interesting,in many of your other self portraits your left eye glares back almost in defiance sometimes. Here there is a somewhat reflective and mildly resigned expression. Or was it that you really needed a nap? Love the palette.

Hi Julian, i did some house sitting in Le Luberon for 6 months,( Puyvert )& as i leaf through your gorgeous book, i am immediately transported back to my Dog walking in the wonderful morning and afternoon light ! Quels jours serein !!

by your fabulous work !! Thank you.
See you down there one of these days i hope,( saving my pennies)

Yup, I laughed and also enjoyed the continuing faces you paint. They all say you with all the humor and dedication of an artist.
