Thank you for yet another superb example of rendering of texture, colour and lighting. However, I'm intrigued that your still life and scenic styles seem so different, especially when you are painting fruit. You are secretly addicted to citrus?
Best regards

It's interesting to see you venturing into words on your posts at last Julian. You're going to find it a tad tedious after a while though, coming up with ever new and 'spontaneous' pithy comments for your fans. I find it tricky too and occasionally wonder why I bother. Money, perchance? (Or is that too cynical? Grin.) By the way - and far more importantly - that's a rather good painting you've just done. Lovely subtle edges.
You get better day-by-day. Not to inflat your head to much! :). For the near amount of time I have come to your lovely site, I see a new insight in your paintings each day. Don't stop to notice! You are on a wonderful magical roll!
Hi Julian I love the way you have manipulated the light on the lemons; they are depicted with a soft focus in contrast to the sharp focus of the vessel behind (even though it is in shadow). It is an interest strategy on your part. Those green stems on the lemon tell me that, when you cut this lemon, the smell will be intoxicating.
