I am liking what you're doing here, using the p.j.'s and using more paint. This painting looks so real, you could just take an onion off the table and use it for tonight's supper! Really nice.

This is a fabulous piece! Love the richness of that vivid blue but also the richness and layers of the onions. Great composition too!

If I thought borrowing your son's pj's would magically have me painting like you, I'll pay for their return postage, okay? :)

Painter’s notes

Market day onions and Louis' pyjama bottoms, I think I'll have to buy him some new ones and keep these in the studio. This again painted with more oil which makes it a little more difficult to photograph but also richer in colour.
