Red Elastics
12x12 on gallery profile canvas
While I was making dinner the other night I came across a large bag of green onions in one of the crispers, and it reminded me that I had not posted this painting. The red elastics are what attracted me to these particular onions. The majority of stores I shop in use blue elastics to secure their onions, which made the red seem very 'exotic'... so I slipped a few (okay... three) bunches into my basket.
Placing them on a red/orange cloth accentuated the green stems and crisp white flesh, while thick passages of oil paint suggest the texture of the roots. Painted larger than life they will make a fun addition to any kitchen!
