Arcs, tangents, circles, lines, spheres and all manner of things geometrical. Makes me want to sing another song, with painful apologies:
"You' re very good at setting things for painting based on shape and size;
"Your blue stripe at the ready, paired in contrast for our watchful eyes;
"In short, in matters beautiful and textural and colorful,
"You are the very model of an artist (compositional)."
Beautiful, beautiful, Julian! Gary, I just love you. You are such a delight - no need to apologize for your "song". I love it. You and Julian both bring joy to my day! Thank you...!
L-O-V-E-L-Y! The indigo background and the color of the leaves beautifully balances the richness of the orange of the clementine.I also like the lightness of the cloth which offsets the depth of the aforementioned...
I like the flair of this orange Clementine with its marked dent opposing the green leaf on theleft, and the assymmetry of the fruit stem and the cloth blue stripe. Solidity, the weight of the fruit and the lightness of the cloth, wven with its shadows have those opposites-Heaviness and Lightness that always please us when they work together.I learned from Eli Siegel's Fifteen Questions, "Is Beauty the Making One of Opposites?"--they are crucial in having us feel a work is successful, and in our feeling pleased by a work. I do wonder about the blackness of the upper part, but perhaps that is a fault of the reproduction. Meanwhile, I enjoy these works every day as I look at them.

george h, that is a very lovely slip of the typewriter. or is it?
things are improving here (julian up since 4 am trying to deal with the problem) but (oops) george and glenn, read the purchase tab, and soon the purchase tab should reappear. fingers crossed. hang in there.
Sorry all, I've had some terrible problems with the mailling list and site crashing over the last few days but all seemed to go normally today. The site seems to be running a little slow so that may be the problem with those who didn't get the purchase button to display.
Once again you've made me drool over your paintings. This is great, I love that blue line going down to the bottom of the picture and how it relates to the angle of the stem. Great work, I admire your painterly style.
