Thank you, Henry!

Magnificent again, Julyan. Gripping, mysterious, techically perfect yet disobedient to any school. Didn't you know that modern paintings were not supposed to have atmosphere?

Thank you Daniel.

Great Painting

Thank you :)

I have to concur, certainly not a Bruegel. In my own opinion.

Who is the "jury"? This is incredible!
A joke? Or just some sort of general provocation/ insult?
Wait a minute!!
If I find more of this kind of crap, I'm out!!

This is definitely NOT a Bruegel!!
Come on! Open your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Julyan Davis . The Juries out on this one... There's quite a few websites which say it is and it's his style, but admittedly not under his list of works... Any ideas?

Not a Brueghel.

Thanks so much, Julyan

I love your work! Wonderful!

is cool :)

Thank you Julian Davis for your valuable comment.. This artwork is: "Golden Tears" by Anne Marie Zilberman (in the style of Gustav Klimt). http://maryeatsbrains.tumblr.com/post/71871119084/golden-tears-by-anne-marie-zilberman-in-the

The amateur art historian in me has a sneaking suspicion this is not a work by Gustav Klimt.

This was a maquette for something much larger. Think I just worked out what to do next. Only took 9 years.

Fire fire! You should make short video when you do something so interesting/fun! My students would love to see!

Thanks. This series was done one summer. The subject matter was very specific, but I didn't want to title them as such. I enjoyed using very different materials- bitumen, roofing cement etc on deep blocks of carved wood. I even set fire to this one for a while!

This is very different from what I'm used to seeing and I really like it! I want to put my fingers in this piece!

Damn! I haven't created a stack yet named Brilliant..but that describes it for me.

Thanks so much, Tom. This work from around 2002 came from years of looking at Cezanne and Matisse in preparation for moving away from tight realism in interpreting the American scene. I picked up a book on Diebenkorn at about the same time, and realized someone had got there first! :)

You've made the colours and the fairly rectilinear forms sing out in this one Julyan.

Learning your craft, step one: work out how the dead white males did it, before rushing into the holiday of Modernism :)

Every time I passed this strange, marker-less lawn for the cremated, I wondered how the mourner was supposed to choose a spot for their flowers?

Thank you Temujin. Are you familiar withe old ballad? 'Pretty Polly'? It is very dark, very tragic, but certainly love is in there- the initial love that preceded the kind that is controlling and full of fear on the young man's part.

Not to discount this as a prelude to another act :-)

Amazing Julyan..you have executed this work so well I can detect the gentleness of the young lady's fingers on his waist: the whole thing speaks of the tender embrace that does not wish to hold the body so much as the heart. Each content to warm and breathe in the other. Perhaps this will be my favourite depiction of love.
