Beautifully loose!!!! Love the quiet colors. I like the lower eye level, the shimmer on the water and the tidal pools. The people on the beach just add that perfect touch and a place for the eye to rest.

You are so talented!

Well, you may not have accomplished as much work as you wanted, but the work you did accomplish is lovely. A nice departure from the still life genre, which I also appreciate but still....nice to see variety.

Hello Julian,
This is one of the most shimmering alive paintings I've seen.
The light on water and sand is magnificent.
And I like the way the humans fit in, naturally, tying heaven and earth.

Painter’s notes

Another piece from Portugal. I didn't get much work done, we had a lot of rain and spent most of our time eating or riding on the wonderful trams around Lisbon.
