1225. The Onion

 I'm really enjoying the fruits of my labor in the kitchen AND in my studio.  Each onion is unique and I really love painting with these colors.  I'm sure  this won't be the last of these paintings as I have a lot of onions in my rooftop garden and a lot of potential titles.  This painting was given as a gift to a friend.

1224. Sudden Stop for Hollyhocks

 A Facebook friend posted a photo of Hollyhocks, and gratefully she agreed to let me use it as a reference.  She happened to be driving and saw hollyhocks growing near a restaurant, and she stopped to photograph them.  It reminded me of the bumper sticker that reads, "I brake for garage sales"  because those of us who love flowers can't help but stop to admire their beauty.  

Thanks to Karen Spinti for the great photo.

1223. Tear Jerker

 I've grown onions in my rooftop garden for the last three years, and this year I am more fascinated with them than ever.  It amazes me that they start out so very small---seedlings are thin as pins and very fragile,  yet end up being a sturdy kitchen staple.  I'm very happy with this painting as I enjoyed painting the twists and turns of the scapes.  

This painting is for sale.  Please contact me via my web site or Daily Paintworks.

1222. New Kuroda

 The carrots in this painting were grown in my rooftop garden.  New Kurodas are found to be particularly sweet with a nice texture.  It's really fun for me to climb up the stairs to pick the vegetables for our dinner or for a still life.

1120. Goodfellas

 

I grew the onions pictured in my rooftop garden, their development was interesting to watch throughout the season.   Can you guess the reference to Goodfellas?
