Hypnotizing small black embrasure that looks like an eye half-closed and inviting to a catnap. It seems to me that I am able to hear now, behind the chalky wall, the deep breathing of the sleepers peacefully "talking" with the whisperings of the ocean through the warmth of the sea air...
Dear Julian, this is you at your best!
The old walls with their shuttered windows, bathing in sunlight and mysterious shadows, a masterpiece. The colours are exquisite. The expanse of the shady lavender washed wall on the right leads the eye toward the sun baked façade in the near distance. The heat seem palpable and the mood exotic.
Anna.
Can't quite say why, but you have really nailed Morocco with the recent set of paintings. Certainly no sign of 'burnt out'. Enjoy yourself - we are certainly enjoying the results.
Julian,
I am new to your blog and so excited to be here. I saw one of your paintings by accident and now I'm hooked. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy and learn from your work!
Painting the beautiful and lingering cool shadows in this scene must have helped soothe your sunburn. Talk about inspiration!
