A Yellow Onion

A Yellow Onion, 5" by 7", oil on linen board, November 2008
Private collection, Fairfax, Virginia

Just to study every shade of brown and yellow and gold, I carved out a small study of a single onion. This piece started to get fairly heavy and thick, reminding me of the big paintings I used to do so long ago.

Looks almost as if it's painted in plaster.

Sweet.
