Darnit! When are you going to paint a painting I don't fall in love with (I mean "with which I do not fall in love")? You are perverse! The most perversely gifted painter I know. This is simply lovely.
Here in New Hampshire we are getting blasted, right now, with many inches of wet snow! These daffodiles are the promise of what is surely to come, although it is hard to imagine. I love this little painting for its absolute freshness, both in image and technique. Wish i were there in Provence now.... Thank you, ,Julian.
Amazing the shaky contour lines of the flowers and flowerpot, in contrast with the green leaves spurting from the pot like two sharp swords. What an intense feeling of swishing life, Julian, you do succeed in giving us !
This is one of my favorites of your recent indoor paintings. The bright yellow of the flowers is such a nice contrast to the very dark (almost ominous) background.
I did actually go through the entire archive once to see what the record was but I don't remember now. Was it this one?
