After struggling with the last portrait, this effort was almost effortless. James, my son, sat and peeled onions for me. I requested that he look philosophical/allegorical. The portrait actually looks something like him. He is a handsome fella.
this almost makes me cry! Edouard is making his presence known in the excellent silhouette, and the play with shape/form. My favorite things here are the arms, hands, and onions... (esp. that front one) one of your best... nice work!
Alice, you are amazing! I like how some of your edges are sharp while others are roughened - especially on the shirt sleeve. I agree with John, those onion skins are wonderful. And Rick, as the pastel tones and highlights make the onions luminous. Who's Edouard?
Mardi, I'm refering to Edouard MANET, he's lurking all over this painting, but in a quiet way... It's Alice with a dash of Manet, (and a pinch of Degas).

ReplyDelete"Perfecto" on the onion peels Alice! I like the blue background against the greens too.
ReplyDeleteI liking the brush strokes around the form, nice!
