I am so taken with the inner life of those clementines--and the sharp green leaves. Orange and green fighting and together, sharp points and roundness. thank you Julian.
Just lovely in its amazing simplicity. Wonderful use of complements, that bright orange and dark dark blue.
Serene but never dull. A painting to study.
Thanks Julian, for letting me know that you too, sometimes struggle with your work. Your paintings are so wonderful I've always assumed you turned them out with ease, peace and serenity, unlike me and my frantic struggles with the paint. This is an especially lovely piece. Thank you for sharing. And for constantly painting and inspiring.
Julian - I'm enjoying the simplicity of this painting and especially the reflections in the little bowl. I think if this was your third painting of the day, you were in a good place - hand and mind. Congratulations!! It is wonderful to be so transported.
Unlike the Australian test team, you pulled yourself together and triumphed in the face of adversity - well played England. Test cricket and painting have so much in common. (Our American friends will be completely bewildered by this, but that's OK)
well worth the work - an elegant little visual poem. I find every painting has a moment when it teeters on the edge of disaster, then rights itself as I push to get in tune with its needs. I always look forward to your postings, they are consistently a relevation - thanks again.
I appreciate you sharing the sometimes struggling moments Julian. As an artist I can identify. Alas, when I have had to wrestle a painting to the ground they seldom have the exquisite serenity that this painting exudes.
I appreciate you sharing your sometimes struggling moments Julian. As an artist I can relate. Alas, once I have wrestled a painting to the ground, it doesn't have the exquisite serenity that this painting exudes.
