Despite the tumultuous waterfall made by the cloth and leaves, the lemon did stay calm and collected, unaware of the danger. And yet,a young leave, cute as a button, on the right warned "him" about the risk of falling. The lemon, serene, answered:
- No risk anywise, for my painter will save me!"
Julian,
I love your paintings of lemons with a French cloth. The green leaves give the composition a natural grace. Is there any chance you will be offering one of these as a print? I would adore having either of them.
Thank you so much,
Elle
ah, well, dear Julian, every time you put ANYTHING on a cloth of that type, I mean, Cezanne should be listening and watching and he would grump a bit at being remembered
but We Remember and We know How to Love
all of us fans
love Mary Ann
NICE ONE. And I would bid for it owing to the composition and colours. Delightful.
BUT, every time I look at the painting I can not help myself seeing a green nipple on the lemon!
A great pity.
Please keep your good work
Dear Julian , why not squeeze (unintended pun)a few more tender lemon paintings out of this citrus sensation.
In my opinion" Lemon no 2" even surpasses the previous one. The surface of the cloth is shimmering the way worn linen does in a certain light and the mesmerising lemon with it's provocative nipple seem packed with fragrance and zest. No wonder the colour yellow was forbidden for anybody but the Emperor himself in ancient China.
This painting has great therapeutic value,it has already galvanised me against the Christmas blitz!My thoughts are turning to painting instead and the "jingle bells" are muted.
This is J M-S at his very best, there is not a hint of chilly photorealism here, instead, every brush stroke breathes life.
Anna
