Dining In Tonight

24" x 18"

As I was moving stuff around, setting up this composition, a layer of the onion fell to the side, revealing the shiny, new skin of onion underneath. I liked the way it looked, so I left it right where it lay. As soon as the light hit the table, the ruby red of the onion just popped and the inside of the skin reflected the light as if it was inlaid with silver. With an emerald green bottle and a garlic clove the color of pearls, I almost felt like I was painting jewelry instead of dinner!
