Cup and clementines

Excellent as usual. Never better.

Christmas wishes to you all, and a fruitful 2015.

What a vibrant clementine
With its ultramarine blue ribbon
In the shape of heart
Like a gift package...
What could be more natural
At Christmas.

I love the dark moodiness you accomplish so well - the vividness of the lush orange color - half hidden, half exposed! Beautiful work!

BEAUTIFUL! Have a lovely Christmas with your family.

Dear Julian,
A perfect composition for this holiday season.
Blessings to you, Ruth, and Louis

Beautiful work, Julian. I enjoy your emails so much! Thank you. I hope someday to own one of your works.

I wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to you and your family!

I really like this painting. I love having "tangerines" in the house at Christmastime! And they are lovely with blue highlights, on the bowl.

Dear Julian, this is vibrant, strong, yet calm, anything to do with Ruth's return.....wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for sharing your daily masterpieces and the artistic strife of a real painter that is still seeking the truth. You have accomplished a great deal this year!

Good to see you back with a Christmas corker to brighten the dark days. Welcome home Ruth and here's wishing you all a very Happy Christmas!
