Great peach fuzz, Julian, very much enjoying your summer fruits paintings.

Wow, you are the best at surfaces, having drooled over your silver, plastic bag, glazes, but now we have fuzzy. I can smell and taste these in Portland, Oregon.

Val Wallace

You paint still life so brilliantly. Those peaches are so life-like I could almost pluck them from the page!
I like the way you handled the plastic situation. Good for you.

Painter’s notes

Pêches jaunes - peaches with yellow flesh - from les Marches de Provence in Carpentras. I had gone out shopping determined not to come home with any plastic packaging and managed just until I found the peaches which were in a plastic barquette, so I asked to have them transferred to a paper bag and left them with the barquette, a small victory.
