Classic and cool in contrast to yesterday’s softer, warmer look.

Oh master of the sultry and dark universe- another gem of poetic and perfect lemons… the rim of that plate is always exquisite. Thanks for brightening up a dreary fall day in New England.

Hello Julian: How do you make your objects ‘emerge’ from the dark—as opposed to merely sitting in front of a dark back-drop? Is there a special type of lighting you employ to avoid sharp ciarascuro? Questions, questions….your lemons are never static and I love them.

I love your lemons. The dark moody ones of today and the bright sunny ones of yesterday.

The plate of lemons seems to be under a dark barrel vault. O my God, I like.

Great stuff, Julian. You have a way with yellow!
