Hi Julian-

You're so funny that you always comment on your "subject" along with these posts! After all there's not so much to say about two lemons.

The real subject as I see it is the paint. Which you handle so gorgeously.
A few lines about your experience with the paint (or choice of composition, or experience with a new color, etc.) on any given day would perhaps be more interesting for you and for your readers.

Lovely work-
Nora

Oh, really tangy. Love it. Where is our emoting, poetic commenter? I miss a lovely laugh.

Evelyn

It seems to me that you are really into texture and color lately - and you are also trying new viewpoints. This is a really nice painting with a good feel to it.

Dear Julian, a little Derring-do piece, two worlds of yellow,relieved by a brushstroke of blue on the pottery. The impasto works well here, adding a bold, sculpted mood to the painting.

Well I for one love reading your comments about your subjects and how they are collected. Ruth does a wonderful job.

Evelyn Mahrt

I do love your personal comments. That is what is comfortable and unique about you - you make us feel almost like friends, Julian. You are more than brushstrokes and technique. Stay authentic.

Patricia

I like the perspective from a higher view point. Almost like the lemons are on an intimate stage and we're looking at them from the upper balcony.

Painter’s notes

Ruth came back from the Monday market with a good selection of lemons and assorted fruit
