Julian, I've commented 1 other time over the last 6 months until your pear the other day. Now, I'm simply watching you paint like a master ~ Unbelievable!
The careful, tiny, brushstrokes that create the colour and the three- dimensional shape of the lemon are a testament to your artistry, Julian. The dry curled leaves and the dramatic black background contrast perfectly with the lemon and bring it to the foreground. Fortunate is the person who wins the auction and buys this painting.
Tremendous painting
This is a personal opinion but even Manet's lemon in the Musee d'Orsay isn't as nice :-)

Julian:
It's amazing how images are created within the paintings we do. Like clouds in the sky, we see images of animals, birds and sometimes, people.
So it is with your beautiful lemon. Or as I call it Le Man. The eyes, nose and mouth are well defined on the end of the
lemon. This was no mistake but a subtle
suggestion of someone, possibly the artist
himself. Julian. Le Man.
