Onion Twist

Just thought I would try it. It almost took longer to find thee perfect onion than to paint it. I am sure anyone watching me look through the onion pile in produce would have wondered about me....

hhehe, another artist would totally 'get it' - buying food for esthetics as well as nutrition (it means you have to paint fast before it spoils, too!) :-)

One of the first still life paintings I did included pears. They were of course the biggest pears I had ever seen which is what inspired me to paint them.. It took longer than I had imagined and I had to replace the pear part of the arrangement.. I went to every store I could think of and could not find any, even remotely the perfection of those first pears! It was incredible to me that there just weren't any that measured up.
