"Not Onions" (I meant garlic) 5x7 oil on canvas boardToday's painting was a struggle piece to keep them from looking like GARLIC lol I think the whiter colors on the foreground piece didn't help. ANYWAY this is my submission for this week's Different Strokes by Different Folks hosted by very gifted and gracious Karin Jurick. Do check out how other artists rendered theirs.
Been busy today but with a few painting daylight left I thought I I'd attempt this challenge that I've been avoiding all week. I didn't really know how I could "contribute" to the photo Karin had. But before I knew it I was sketching out ideas and just decided to paint. Well I'm glad I did! And now my busy evening is about to take over my busy day so ta-ta for now!

Erika, you contribute beautifully every week! I love how you put so much color into your paintings, and your candid comments always make me laugh... DSFDF wouldn't be as fun for me without you!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Alice! As I was cooking this evening it dawned on me I meant GARLIC, not onions! It's still been quite a challenge as you well described in your blog. I'm so glad I'm in good company :)
ReplyDeletethe color in the piece is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWhatever the struggle was, it turned out GREAT! Colors are amazingly beautiful. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love them! And they don't look like garlic or onions at all.
ReplyDeleteI have bookmarked DSFDF and will be giving it a go when things settle down a bit round here, it looks like fun.
