Thanks for sharing your experience of this time that is taking a psychological toll on all of us and we count ourselves lucky if that is all, and thank you for this lovely image. I opened it at a moment when I was feeling exasperated and it so soothed me!

Please don't ever apologize for your wonderful and actually thrilling "still life" roses. Even falling they are truly gorgeous.

Denise

Lovely to have the roses, Julian! Our scented pink ones are out here in Greece too.
We also have to have an up-to-date paper + passport, but with only one usually invisible policeman on the island it's more to conform and reasure the locals than anything else. Masks and gloves to shop too, to protect others!. . .
Stay well, keep painting! We need that!

Stay safe Julian and your beautiful family. So many people find your gorgeous paintings such a joy to see in our email box. Best to you all.

Thank you for the great work you do. As an art teacher, you inspire me to do more painting for myself.

Painter’s notes

Sorry it's all roses but it's what's available and what could be more celebratory of the season (especially given the circumstances). Anyway shopping is tricky and requires me to go out with my passport and a signed permission chit. The Lady banks is not going to be around for much longer as you can see by the fallen petals. We'll miss it!
