This is is a painting of a big purple onion...
(Just a description in case you wondered.)
LOL!
Sometimes as I walk through a museum and read about the deep meanings of paintings, I wonder if all great works of art have to have a "deep meaning." Can a painting not just be a really good painting? Does it have to mean something more?
My Weekly-ish Challenge this week was pretty specific. "Purple Onion Done From Life on a 6"x 6" Canvas." Wow... really specific... not much room for interpretation!
How can I describe how I feel about painting from life without using such a strong word as hate? But, I do follow rules, and I even had Ron take a picture of me following the rules as proof for my partner. She and I do laugh so much when we talk each week-ish to reveal our paintings.
First I did a warm up "purple onion from life on 6"x 6" just to see if I could!
Click "Purple Onion" if you'd like to have it for yourself. You can attach your own deep meaning.
I think your Ode to Purple Onion is quite nice! Do you like painting small?
ReplyDeleteA humble little vegetable... deserves some praise!
DeleteI do like painting small... but I love painting big!
Gosh it looks perfect! You nailed the color and the layers and those little hairs.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying you hate purple onions?
No! I don't hate purple onions at all. It's the painting from life that is far from how I enjoy painting.
DeleteIt looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, and I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear!! You too!
