"Green Onions"
Image size 6" x 6"
Oil
I can't believe that it's been a year and a half since I've painted in oil and two years since I've done a palette knife painting. Even though oil isn't my favorite medium, I do like painting with a palette knife so it surprises me that I've let so much time pass without using that tool.
I went to the Farmer's Market this weekend hoping to find some incredible vegetables to paint but there was nothing that screamed "PAINT ME" so I ended up with these little onions. I chose a red background to add some punch. I do love red but rarely use it. I wonder what's up with that? I'll have to concentrate when I make my color choices for future paintings instead of always going with my comfortable colors.
well it did soup it up and I like the way the green just pops off that red. Hmmm, veggies - we'd have a problem in eating the subjects in our house. Ok you got these kinds of curves with the knife?? Now I am jealous.
ReplyDeleteOh, you could do those curves too. You're a very skilled artist.
DeleteBonjour chère amie,
ReplyDeleteRien n'est mieux que d'acheter les légumes du moment chez un petit producteur. Ce sont souvent les meilleurs.
Ils le deviennent encore davantage grâce à votre pinceau et votre talent... Un très joli trio d'oignons verts.
J'aime le choix de votre fond, il apporte un fabuleux contraste avec ces jeunes pousses.
Gros bisous 🌸
Merci Martinealison
DeleteBeautiful, refreshing and vibrant! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda
DeleteExcellent! This time of the year it's so much fun going to farmers market ...la great place to get inspired! I don't do too many still life paintings but I have some photos of peaches and apples that are calling me. I do like the red background for these onions Nancy!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't do still life painting much either but these were fun to paint.
