I can't believe no one has commented! You nailed that bread and I can smell what I think might be some goat cheese- gorgeous! I need to hurry back there because I can taste the cheese but it's name does not come to me... time to pack!

I love this painting, it is sublime and so simple.

This painting SLAYS me. I have returned to it several times today to stare at the sheer brilliance. I especially love the bread. The lighting on the bread is incredible. I was outbid awhile ago but I might attempt to get a print if it exists. Thank you Julian, it's beyond..... Rachael

Subtle balance between lights and shadows. It reminds me of the humbleness of " The meal of peasant" painted by Louis Le Nain. Moment of silent meditation.

Chardin often referred to as the greatest still life painter of all--I don't know about that Julian. you just get better and better and better with a simple crust of bread as spectacular a purveyor of light and shadow as you've done. thank you.

This is a knockout. As to bread, glass, dark purple liquid, cheese -- wow. But I've been wanting to mention the horizontal surfaces. Whether it's this tabletop or a vast expanse of fields, it's always the perfect illusion of flat, from here to way out there. Julian creates s p a c e on those little gessoed cards.
