The magnificent onion in the back was actually the inspiration for this still life. Somehow it was pushed to the background. The moment I saw this onion in the famous Mazama grocery store on the eastern side of the mountains, I knew it had to come home with me. It has not only inspired me but several of my students as well. I salute you beautiful onion!
Gosh, I hate to admit I painted this quite awhile ago. Perhaps it was late spring? As the days get shorter and shorter, I'm really longing for late spring.
