Beautiful! Astonishing details, and the catalyst for a wonderful memory of my Dad (who I lost in 2004), who loved spring onions, used to eat them raw, and put them in practically everything. Thank you for the portal to that lovely memory.

Unbelievable. I love everything about this one. I agree, each painting seems to get better ... and yet, how on earth can you get better. Amazingly beautiful.

An erotic vision of a humble bunch of vegetable so evocative for me of a painting of Gustave Courbet and one of Edouard Manet,both together "living" their beaming lives in the museum of Orsay...

Fabulous! I love the red band; brings the whole thing to life but also the light you've brought to some of the root tips! Love it!
