Dear Julian, quite overwhelmed with the beauty of "Garden roses"!
The pink roses and their soft fragility is enhanced by the heart stopping reflections on the silver vase.The touch of darker greens and pinks on the upper left of the bouquet is masterly, adding depth and bringing the illuminated part of the foreground closer. And not one brushstroke too many!
Pure poetry, I hear Chopin when I look at this painting!
Anna.
Julian,this morning I have realized (once again) how daring you are,technically.That's why I like so much your works. This relates to the basis of the silver goblet,when we look at it from the left to the right:6 dashes of colors are juxtaposed: black,muted grey,orange,(divine)cobalt blue,white,mid grey. And thus you have made happen the basis of the goblet!Masterly!
Interesting observations about Julian's technique,Alain. The six dashes of pigment are very daring, but then the Meister is never timid with his brush! Anna.
