“The onion has sprouted over the last couple of weeks in the warmth of the studio whilst waiting to be painted”

Just like Cezanne, he always got to painting his onions on the late side! :)
That is a saucy onion (pose/placement). Indeed it may eventually be in a sauce, tomato perhaps for pasta.
And whilst waiting became an even more beautiful subject. The dark green and the dark rose-orange are wonderful color companions.
My onions all develop shoots too. And my persimmons go bad before I can eat them because I love their rotund orange sections and soft green leaves too much to do anything but paint them( hint,hint) . Really nice onion, papery skin is tough to do but you make it look easy. But are all your days inside grey ones? On good sunny days, you go out? I want sunlight and strong shadows. Ok, so I'll paint them.
a gwen john colour pallette onion - very good !!!
