I love your gorgeous brush stroke.
I am wondering if you could give us any video lecture courses.
I am especially fascinated with your painting "Evening on the lagoon."
I want to know how to paint light on the ruffle water.

I've never had a mangosteen and must have left Crillon before they came to market. I had to look it up in the dictionary. They sound good, does Louie like them.

Best wished for a Merry Christmas. The five Cobbs will be in Paris.

Dear Julian, a beautiful stranger, have not come across her since Singapore! As the fruit looks so striking when cut open, with pure white segments packed into the dark leathery peel, how about a Mangosteen 2,the fruit's "porcelain white" flesh revealed! Od'ed recently on Edmund de Waal's latest book "The white road"! All roads now lead to porcelain.

Thanks for the smile you bring to my life. Christmas wishes to you and yours, and hope 2016 is a year filled with peace and joy.

Painter’s notes

'tis the season of exotic fruits (used to be anything that wasn't an apple)
