I’ve been following your work for years. Watching with pleasure your development. I love your paintings. Envious! And today I wanted to thank you for teaching me about Fulmars. A new word … the beautiful creatures and what they sound like, too. I googled the new word for me.

Please let know if you will ever come to Alexandria, Va. — Call on The Principle Gallery on King Street. The owner is Michelle. I wonder if you could dado a demo, or teach a class there?

Best wishes,

Could you teach online, privately ?— Could I afford that? Could I show you a few paintings - and have you critique them? I’m quite reclusive these days. Depression.

I feel great pleasure from studying your brushstrokes and your set ups … Thank you!!!

Dear Julian -
It almost looks like you sneaked Louis into the picture, in the lower right corner just above and to the right of your signature. He is wearing yellow galoshes and is looking out to sea.

Or maybe I am imagining that.
(It would be fun, though.)


Best regards to you all, and stay safe!

Painter’s notes

This is the furthest point north of the Hebrides. We spent a night here in a our rented camper van, alone except for the nesting Fulmars
