September 2nd, 2014: Oil on Board, 8" x 10". My Mom gave me these big, beautiful onions from her garden (mine didn't do so well this year) and I felt compelled to paint them before we ate them. I love the contrast between the round, smooth onions and the tangle of dried leaves.
I also experimented with pulling a monotype from this painting. There is stage in my painting process where I tend to blot at my underpainting with tissue, but the tissues look so cool I thought I would try it with some rice paper. I lost some of my darks and some detail so I'm thinking of touching it up a bit, perhaps with some ink drawing before I call it done. To be shared when I finish it.
