Incredible alchemy of a painting created so romantically. I seem to hear the white candlelight burning with love, so close. And to see how the apex of the lemon tries to desperately deform the vertical stem of the glass of wine adds a touch of tension among this light softened atmosphere. In the shade, a couple of asparagus are hugging each other so tenderly. They believe, may be, that we do not see them...

Greetings from Berkeley, Julian,

Wonderful! I smell the lemony aroma and the light freshness of the wine.

Love asparagus but it has been so expensive here in the Bay Area.

Painter’s notes

New seasons asparagus—very nice with a little poached salmon and a glass of chilled burgundy on a spring-like day
