Hello Julian,

Just a quick not to let you know how much I admire your work. (I own two landscapes). I'm a landscape painter and so can appreciate what skill goes into the still lifes and landscapes. More than anything, I respond to the quality of your seeing. There's clearly an intelligent sensitivity in how you work that is absolutely superb.

These last few weeks of paintings have been wonderful. Each is a feast for the eyes, and a continuing inspiration to get back to my sadly neglected oils. I hope someday to take one of your workshops. Thanks for the daily inspiration!

I like the way you are breaking the rules with this, going your own way, very refreshing....

Painter’s notes

The chili was borrowed from a set of ingredients; galangal, lime, lemon grass etc. that I'd bought for a bit of asian cooking
