Like female siamese twins It seems They would like to live Their own life Their own destiny But their graceful green legs Crossed twice Show us in fact They will never Never break up !

Hi Julian, Another beautiful painting! If you don't mind a technical question: your photos of your work are very good, especially the dark ones. Do you have a full studio set up to get rid of the specular highlights? I'm having a very tough time with that problem. Thanks, and thanks for being such an inspiration. Judith

I show each day's painting to my students - 17 and 18 year old advanced art students - this morning one asked 'how does he (Julian) do this so beautifully every day?' I thought about it and finally realized - he is in love with looking/ with really seeing in the purest sense - so each day he simply falls in love again. Thanks for showing me why I paint and teach - it is all related. Dean

What intrigues me about this painting, Julian, is the way that you deploy colour and create light via colour in a manner that focuses our eye on that rather than the image as a nasurtium. The result is not unlike the early work of phtographers such as Steichen. It is a personal expression of what you see "in the purest sense" (thanks Dean). This is what fascinates me in your painting.
