An energetic onion discovered in a cupboard. I was drawn to the irony that a simple onion isn’t regarded as beautiful or fragrant, but in that moment, its energy was captivating.
48hrs later, this little painting was completed and those fresh shoots had lost their luminous translucency.
There were times during this painting that I felt I was reaching the limits of my smallest of brushes, but I soon grew accustomed to it, but I had to invest in a better magnifying glass!
Painted to fit a heavy gold frame I had in the studio at the time.
