Onions

Red Onions   oil on birch panel 8×10″  Unframed but ready to hang   $250

Here’s a little painting I did recently.  I hadn’t planned to paint these onions but they looked so good sitting on the counter I had to set them up in a still life.  I might have worked  longer except I wanted to make a carrot salad!  Now they’ll get hung in the kitchen with all the other paintings of fruits and vegetables.   I was intrigued by the play of light on the rounded forms and the variation of colors, from red purple to a spot of bright red reflected under a piece of skin.
