Utterly gorgeous....and interesting as well. Have been seeing a lot of American works with streams, rivers, oceans. I've lived near waterways most of my life....intriguing.

These last four after your classes have been magnificent. You must have really been excited by what you and your pupils accomplished. From strength to strength.

Barbara Bush

Wow! I have been there so know how dramatic it is. You did a fantastic job capturing the colors. BTW, I enjoy all of your daily paintings even when I don't comment.

Susan Johnson

A lovely depiction of a lovely spot. I remember it with fondness from my own trip several years ago.

Smiling! Smiling! When an artist paints the soul of a place, one can only smile in recognition!! Well done! C-Marie

Julian having been born in raised in Hawaii I have seen a lot of different color and light on water but this is a stunning display of color combinations that shed a new light on my corneas! I'm always in awe of your way of seeing.
Much aloha Clint

Julian, I'm an artist too. I have strict taste in art even though I don't feel as though I'm good. But your art, thank you, it really speaks to me. This landscape is so lovely. All of your body of work is beautiful.

Dear Julian, this is SO SO lovely! Lately you have a broader stroke and more saturated brights. I absolutely love these paintings! Thank you so much for lifting my spirits! What a treat to get your emails.

Painter’s notes

Much driving around before I eventually settled on the river... the sorgues comes out of the mountain side a fully fledged river and is the biggest spring/source in europe
