Vase of white peonies

Mr. Merrow-Smith,

Your paintings are remarkable, and I am constantly impressed by how you handle light, and convey surface appearances.

I'm wriitng now because your glassware is always stunning. About 18 months ago you did a whiskey glass against a dark background. I honestly felt something like lust for that painting! You keep an actve surface yet it always feels finished, not slapdash.

Admiringly,
Gene Underwood

This is lovely, Julian. Each posted painting is an inspiration, and sparks memories of the wonderful Oct. workshop. I hope you all are well. Warmest regards, Fran

Beautiful! Well done indeed. Henri Fantin-Latour has nothing on you!

Lovely. Captures the glass, the peonies and the light.

Just WOW
