What a delicious scent of colors and hues.The rectilinear edge of the table as if by magic looks ideally perfect.

I love the rough nature of the toffee colour of the pot that you have depicted with the careful deployment of light and colour. The reflection of the garlic colours on the pot is a deft strategy that provides a contrast with the expertly rendered garlic whose papery covering I can almost feel. This painting is a delightful symphony of colours and textures. Bravo Julian!

Painter’s notes

One of the advantages of Ruth being away—she is in Paris, the accompanist to a conducting masterclass—is that I can roam around the house with my pochard box and not be in anyones's way. Still, mealtimes are a little quiet.
