I love this painting. I don't think I've ever had a chance to eat or cook with Roscoff onions, but they are so gorgeous to look at. Thank you, Julian, for another perfect little masterpiece. And thank you for the link to the great article on the onion johnnies.

Painter’s notes

The famous onions of Brittany, great story about the 'Onion Johnnies' that used to visit the UK selling the onions on strings from their bicycles here in The Herald (Scotland)
