Onions & Heirlooms

Onions just pulled from the ground.

Crockery passed down from Grandma.

Plain, common... beautiful.

Whispers of home.

I did this painting for Inspiration Collaboration in response to Sara's Collected Memories.

Heirlooms & Onions

My grandmother had crocks like the one in the painting.  My memory of those crocks was that she made sour kraut in them each summer when the cabbage was ready.

These are heirlooms from my husband's grandmother.  He said as long as he can remember, she kept magazines in this crock.  The jug sat beside a door. They're older than we are and were surely were used for other things for many years before they became a magazine holder and door stop.

I pulled the green onions from my own little onion patch.  They were good... good for the still life, and good for the soup.

What's in the bottom drawer of your refrigerator?

Potatoes, carrots, and onions...

This painting was done as a submission for Rookie Painter.  Have a look.  It's fun to see the varied artists' styles.  Each is just alike... and completely different!
