Excellent job...that bread even looks better then Vermeer's. Someday I will take a class in your glorious countryside!

Hello Julian, I don't often comment but I couldn't help myself when you mentioned Louis. And of course your painting is brilliant! Miss you all and think of you often. Happy Holidays.

Stella Reinwald

Beautiful. A perfect balance of actual detail and suggestion of detail for a realistic yet painterly work. The background hits just the right note in color and tone, lost and found edges. Lovely.

"How does he do that?" I said to myself because I could feel that crust between my fingers and the wine.....could taste it! Wonderful painting. Thank you

Dear Julian, a spellbinding painting! I am lost in a reverie of classical beauty!
Masterful palette, the dreamy reflections on the glass of wine, the crusty bread with its typical dusting of flour, the perfection of the foreshortened cheese. It doesn't stop there, the soft mole brown background, has an illusory depth that contributes much to the whole. And as usual, looking effortless. Genius!!
