Green Onions--Small Format Oil Painting

Today's painting was so fun to paint. I began on a black gessoed surface, mixed up a range of grays and painted the bulbs of the onions. Next I added the greens with a mixture of sap green and cadmium lemon yellow. After adding the rubber bands, I painted the crooked little roots with my rigger brush. It was quick and fun. I'm considering taking this little 5x7 oil painting and upscalinging to something larger for placement at my Impressions Gallery in the Artists Collective Market at 1000 Markets. I added a new 11x14 inch still life painting yesterday and am anxious to add more.
