Still life with Chili and Garlic

Gorgeous! Love the flakey garlic outer peels.
And the abstraction of the compositon. Great!!
Love it when you surprise us all with some new
subject matter.

Really nice composition for a small work. The pepper is so directional and the color is strong. No mere rendering here.

Oh! Yes, I agree with Leslee!!! I love that crispy skin, the composition is divine, and I particularly love the yummy, dirty purples in the onion. What a wonderful painting, Julian!

I sucked all the air out of the room when I saw this picture on my screen. What's the word for that? Gasped? Yeah, big gasp. This is definitely one of my favorites. I want it. You are a modern day Master!

Love this painting! Your ever changing subject matter has me addicted.

Hmmm maybe I'll have another shot at growing chillies this year - beautiful X Mhairi

right now i am reading cezanne in provence, and it looks like the place has not changed in all those years. julian your still lifes have such a wonderful quality to them--they are very much ALIVE; even your poor fish seem to be breathing! i hope this painting goes to a gourmet.
