Luscious and juicy - in subject matter and painting style. Great piece, Julian!

Elaine Culbert

Beautiful work, Julien .... as always.

They look absolutely delicious!

Molly

They look delicious. Oh, to be at the weekly market at Carpentras!
Thank you for reminding me of it.

Alain

Dishevelled, tousled friends, as if they were grooving to the song "Ob la di Ob la da, life goes on bra, la la how the life goes on..."! What a sensory painting, what an optimistic painting.

Anna Howard

Dear Julian, the magic of your little sparkling jewels makes me happy to be alive,how essential is Art, with a capital A.
Thank you for making me inspired, I am now revelling in thoughts of ancient Carpentras and the Provençal countryside in spring.

Alain

The secret?
Well, beyond the talent... the enthusiasm! Here, even the background, by the dark swell made by the dancing brushstrokes, join in the overall enthusiasm.

Painter’s notes

The first strawberries from Carpentras — roll on spring!
