cocktail onions #2 5x7
I painted some cocktail onions a while ago when I first started this project. I like this painting better. It seems more cohesive to me. You can compare it to the other one by clicking here.
Yes I agree. One of the things that attracted me to this subject was the way the onions sort of glow and blur together. I'm starting to experiment with not defining every little detail as I get a little more experience as a painter. I think it gets the viewer more involved. Thanks for all you great comments!
I am an artist living in Northern California. In 1993 I graduated from
U.C. Davis where I took classes from Wayne Thiebaud, Dave Hollowell and Roy DeForest. I currently teach art at Chana High School in Auburn California. On this blog I have posted 1000 paintings in as many days. Lately I have not been as strict with my painting schedule although I still update this blog regularly. I want to do some larger paintings that may take me more than a day to complete. Unless marked otherwise, these paintings are for sale. Please direct all purchase enquiries to Elliot Fouts Gallery. If you are unsure about the availability of a painting, please don’t hesitate to email me.

I think the onions in the first painting were more defined.
