This is a masterpiece - the colors, texture, light and composition are right on - love this (and I don't even like garlic to eat)!

Wow! .... I'm loving these colors, Julien! The mustard yellow with the tans and beiges make for an interesting and eye-catching change.

You have given me some much needed inspiration for when I get the opportunity and time to paint again. I hope that time comes sooner than later.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us viewers.

Julian, this is just beautiful!!! I love your palette - all the wheat-y hues tie everything together. It's a perfect inspiration for working with a limited palette!

Julian, I have often wondered how to explain your use of unexpected color. Perhaps it is a typo but I love Char's use of "dods" of color -- not spots, not pops, not brushstrokes -- from now on, they'll be Julian's DODS!

Julian, another fascinating presentation of the ordinary! I often wonder how to explain your use of unexpected color. It's not exactly splashes or pops or brushstrokes, but Char's comment may have it! Now they'll always be Julian's "DODS!"

Painter’s notes

This is how garlic is 'packaged' in our local store. The bowl is another of last week's purchases from l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue,
