An invitation to share, on Christmas eve, your joy, happiness and exultation with us through this work.
Full of colored cracklings, a heartwarming painting.
Merry Christmas to Louis, Ruth and you.
I have run out of superlatives! This is just lovely.
The colour of the whisky against the bauble and again, those superb shadowy areas you create with that beautiful red holly! Wonderful job!
The holly will always remind me of my childhood in England - going out in the fields behind us in our little village on Christmas Day, picking holly with my Dad to decorate our house while Mum was busy, as usual, in the kitchen.
Thank you for sharing your special gift and a Merry Christmas from Canada.
This painting shows the warmth of Christmas. It is another "quiet comfort" work. This would make a beautiful Christmas card for next year if you are inclined to do reproductions. I also like this painting because it seems to tell a story, Julian - but I get to use my own interpretation. Nice!
I agree with Elaine C. -- also from Canada.
I so look forward to receiving your artwork each mid-afternoon. You make each piece, effortless, when we all know otherwise.
Here's wishing you all sorts of happiness and goodness over this holiday season and peace to you and your family throughout the coming year.
Blessings / Tony
A lovely Festive painting Julian.
Wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and onwards into hopefully a quiet and creative 2015
Regards Sarah Orchard
Merry Christmas, Julian and Family!
The colours are sumptious! I just put our fruitcake in the oven and am hoping it will be sumptious too!
God bless you and yours, C-Marie. USA
Dear Julian, thank you for another year of joy. I am reminded often of the majesties of our world through your work which so often reflects what I see outside my window halfway around the world!
This was a surprise as I don't think I have ever seen you use items such as these before in a still life.
I'm not a big Christmas enthusiast (which is a cowardly way of saying "Bah Humbug") but this is so very charming and skillfully executed I had to write. I especially like the glass ball, the brushwork is perfect. I could almost get in the spirit of the season with this. Well done Julian!

?? ?? Your holly painting reminded me of my walk last week to pick mine. Lots of berries this year which is said to be a sign of a cold winter to come!
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Healthy and Fun Filled 2015
