Julian,
It had been a dreary, dark rainy day here in Maryland until I opened this page. Wow. Thank you for the bright and orangy everythingness of this little masterpiece. It makes me want to paint right now. Shimmery highlights to inspire us mere mortal painters.
Well, I looked at your beautiful Venice paintings for several days and got used to the blue waters, and when I opened this one today, the orange jumped out, off the page, saying "wake up, wake up." You're full of surprises.
I like those bright colors of those oranges and the roundness,then the rough stems in the center. They are so full and surprising! What a combination --a play of those opposites you know I love. Thank you DK
How brilliant! I can almost feel the smooth, soft rind of the clementines. How wonderful it is to 'visually feel' an object. The painting is just lovely.
Harriet
