The humble onion is one of my favorites. Amazingly beautiful. Your work is such a pleasure to view.
No apologies please.. 3 gems in less than 24 hours. An embarrassment of riches;lovely all!!!
No apologies necessary. Your paintings always make me smile and lift my spirit. They are all so beautiful.
I have such a love affair with onions, shallots and garlic... This makes me happy! (As so much of your work does.)
Any member of the Allium family, be it onion, leek, garlic, or shallot, would be a pleasure to see in one of your paintings!

I love it. No matter how humble the subject, you elevate it and bring the beauty out. You help us see the essence.
Your humble onion is magnificent!
Tonight,it's not monochromatic at all!The white wall is now a song of blue and pink,with some marks of blue on the train too; Nevertheless I liked so much the burnt sienna atmosphere of the same painting,this morning,as some monochromatic landscapes by Rembrandt...

GORGEOUS!
