This red onion was so gorgeous and so luminous, I was hesitant to paint it. Didn't know if I could do it justice. The eye is from looking in the mirror, and the tear, well tears are so wonderfully kitsch, I just had to do it. The idea of onions/tears appeals to me; this is the second teary onion one I've painted.Tuesday, November 09, 2010

Hi Theresa
I LOVE IT!
Hey T, I'm so LOVING all these new ones! That tear is perfect in the onion painting!
How big is your other WIP? You said it was larger, but maybe I missed the size?
Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks Penny and Bobbi!
The WIP was 8x10--now a completed painting.
