Your work is very beautiful. My eyes were drawn to that swipe of yellow in the mirror.

The Master himself confirms that he painted what I saw. In the background there is an olive oil bottle and a copper pan beside it. As background, they serve as perfect foils or contrasts over against the incredibly delicate PINK and WHITE reflections on the SWEET onions. The reflections on the olive oil bottle and copper pan are perfect as they bring unity to the whole. Merci, Maitre.

THIS IS A BIT EARLY, JULIAN, BUT HAPPY 50TH (FIFTIETH!!!) BIRTHDAY ON THE 24TH!!!!!!!!!
