I recently came home to a bag of sprouty vidalias. It was fun to get back to my roots and paint a still life. It is a treat to paint from a live model even if they are smelly onions. This is painted on a 5 x 7" linen panel. Sold
Hah! LOLOL "Back to my roots!" Get it? I really like the smell of onions though. Quite a lovely piece with the variations of onion skin tones against the background. I think this is masterful, Carol!

The subtle blues in the bowl really work well with the warmer tones in the onions.

Nice painting. I like especially your shadows and skin tones. Also agree the cool blue dish works well with your warms.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! I love those bold brush strokes on the onions!
ReplyDeleteEach color note has it's own little shape. Like stained glass. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a little masterpiece, Carol. Very, very nice!
