I would LOVE to see a photo of that beautiful easel with one of your beautiful,tiny paintings
set up on it!

Elaine Culbert

Another simple but oh, so beautiful painting! Love the colors on the pears.

Well done, Julian!


Elaine

PS: Don't know the brand of easel you are mentioning - will have to Google and see if they are this side of the ocean. I still won't paint like you, though!

The inner fire of these pears glorifies them beyond their humble status of edible fruit. I like how the red pear seems to give to its neighbour a little bit of red of its own body as an act of generosity. The subtle inclination of the yellow pear towards the red one seems to express, in return, a moving gratefulness.
Ihis still life is a testimony of commiseration.

Such a beautiful painting, Julian. I did a small painting a few days ago of 2 yellow pairs, and I really struggled through. I thought it turned out pretty good - until I saw your masterpiece. Oh well, I believe in perseverance, patience, and persistence.

I amso happy you got something you wanted. If the painting is any measure,hang right on to it. JC

Well Julian, you certainly do beautiful still lifes! The tangerines and the pears drip with juice. The paintings from Venice were wonderful as well. Am so glad to know you, Ruth and Louis and follow your travels.

Painter’s notes

My first painting using my new Sorg easel (obtained with some difficulty and the help of friends). It might not improve my paintings but it does improve my life.
