I appreciate the distortion of realness about the blade of the table knife cut by the half a pear. It is for me reminiscent of Cezanne when he did the same with the sides of a table cut by a tablecloth. Freedom of the artist.
I like it Julian.
But this is too much light.
Maybe a bit more shadow and I might bid.

I am very interested in how artist's employ light. Today's painting and yesterday's are excellent illustrations of the strategies an artist can use to make paintings that have a very different impact. Both are very 'poetic'.
Of course your comment makes sense; I wholly agree with you. Chiorascuro yesterday, in the light of day today. Two options in the History of Art. Two ways of painting but " both are very poetic".
Let's not forget that Julian's Web site is called "shiftinglinght"! His usages of light and shadows is simply unsurpassed. I have been particularly interested in the comparisons made between his art and Le Nain's, and even more so to the references made to Morandi and other still life painters in the history of art. Bravo, Julian!!! You never cease to amaze me!
