oh my!! the three onions were just spectacular but this is even better--just an amazing combination of color, light, brush stroke, edges, crispness. just plain wow.
In a post on THAT self portrait a week ago, DonaS suggests Julian resembled actor Russell Crowe. I replied that may be so, but we'd have to hear him speak or see him throw a telephone. Well, with this painting he throws the phone! Wow - what an expressive and dynamic painting. An academy award nomination for this one!
That papery skin, that crisp brilliance is about to fly off the page and stick to my fingers as I peel the layers away to use the sweet, flavor-filled onion within. All done with a brush. Amazing!
I look at your paintings everyday and call our three children for the ones I think they will like the most.
`Oh my God' said the 9 year old, `I think it must be the background' said the 12 year old {we've been doing complimentary colours]. `Oh wow, cool,' said the 15 year rugby mad teen. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Thankyou Julian, I bought this beautiful painting as a surprise, for my wonderful husband, Harry. I hope he doesn't scroll down this far! ("Hello darling", if you do! )He has been admiring your work for many years now, and I know he will love it. Thanks
