In remembrance of scents of steaming boiled sugar,hot cinnamom spice,gold-colored bosc pears,all in this painting reminds me of warmth which eases and softens the sorrow of souls...

I'm moved by the simple beauty of shape, color, subject, brush work...Wish I owned this painting. ...A favorite!

Barbara Michel

This painting has an elegant air. Julian. your work makes me look carefully and 'see'.

Painter’s notes

These are little 'Poire Martin Sec', a cooking pear known to have been cultivated in the C16 and grown in the kitchen garden of Louis 14th. They ripen during the winter, November to January, which adds a little colour to the winter still life painter's armoury
