A very very original arrangement in a shrunk space.
Fascinated by the power of colors.
Feeling of intense pictorial richness.
My eyes are never satiated: there is always something to find, to rediscover in this crowded painting.
Nice, rich colors. I've been known for not seeing the forest for the trees, but I'm having trouble reading the upper right portion of the painting. I guess these are the reflections in the silver bowl. At first, I thought there was a mirror in the background. You managed a lot in the time you had to do this.
Dear Julian,edge to edge visual pleasure, particularly left edge. Like a detail of a much larger painting. The clementines look almost caramelised,glowing richly next to the warm textures in old ivory and cobalt blue of the cup.I imagine the silver bowl filled with sweetmeats. A Flemish scene, perhaps glimpsed through a window in old Bruges!
Yes, I know my imagination often runs away with me!

Julian, Lovely to see such colour and an interesting composition. I like the looseness..it's fresh. Wonderfull.
An hour certainly well spent, Julian - wish I could do as well in four!
Alain is correct - it is crowded, but it looks great - a very different composition.
Wonderful colors for the holiday but a real tease trying to find the bowl and cup! Merry Christmas to you all. Grace s.
You continue to be a great inspiration!

Yes the upper right area is enigmatic and adds something more to that still life.
Happy Christmas !
