Classic and cool in contrast to yesterday's softer, warmer look.
Oh master of the sultry and dark universe- another gem of poetic and perfect lemons... the rim of that plate is always exquisite. Thanks for brightening up a dreary fall day in New England.
Hello Julian: How do you make your objects 'emerge' from the dark--as opposed to merely sitting in front of a dark back-drop? Is there a special type of lighting you employ to avoid sharp ciarascuro? Questions, questions....your lemons are never static and I love them.
I love your lemons. The dark moody ones of today and the bright sunny ones of yesterday.
The plate of lemons seems to be under a dark barrel vault. O my God, I like.
Great stuff, Julian. You have a way with yellow!
