Clementine with blue background

Glad to see your back in the swing of it and producing 2 great paintings! Congrats!

I love how the inclusion of.a slightly darker orange stroke within the highlight indicates texture for the entire form! Such a seemingly simple gesture but not so easy to accomplish...

Beautiful, love the color combination. Always blessed by your work Julian, though I'm usually silent. I'm guessing there are many silent ones like me who don't make comment on line but are ardent fans of your work. Thank you so much for your gift to us.
Blessed New Year to you and your family.

The blue is the perfect background for the orange; it pops its colour dramatically.
