When I paint a still life I like to express human emotions through the interaction of the various components. This trio seemed like a mom, dad, and child to me. I'm still tweaking this one, planning to add some transparent dark glazes here and there and maybe a lightening of the back table plane. The "Onion Family" will be one of three of my works on display at the Food for Thought show at Village Frameworks in Culpeper during the month of September.
Other news: Just heard that I will have two paintings at the 2010 Gala Juried Art Exhibition in Elkins, West Virginia, September 10 - 29. Opening reception is September 10, 6 - 10 pm.
