I HAVEN'T COMMENTED ON ONE OF YOUR PAINTINGS IN A WHILE, BUT THIS ONE JUST INSPIRED ME TO TELL YOU (AND I AGREE ABOUT THE COMPOSITION) THAT THE RELATION OF THOSE GOLDEN, SHINY ONION SKINS AND THE SPIKY STEMS OR LEAVES THAT SHOOT UP JUST SPOKE TO ME OF THE GREAT STATEMENT OF ELI SIEGEL "IN REALITY OPPOSITES ARE; ONE ART SHOWS THIS." CONGRATULATIONS !
this is astoundingly beautiful...I don't want to stop looking at it----the bowl has the coloration of capiz shell or the luminosity of the inside of an oyster shell. The background is a perfect foil for the copper-toned onions. They are radiant. A splendid work masterfully presented.
I still feel at a loss for words for expressing how I feel about it.
Julian, I am frequently amused by cold who ask if you teach! I ha even painting for almost fifty years and still learn from you. Today was the subtleties of color in th onions.
Beautiful golden glow, love how you have used the warms and cools in this painting. Would love to revisit in July but don't think that we will make it 2016 - maybe 2017.
