My second oil painting! Just warming up and trying to learn the medium before I do a portrait. I painted this for my little girl, she loves onions and even asks for them in restaurants. I think they are like foriegn food to her because I dont eat them or cook with them at all.

This is a great study. Not bad for a second try. In fact, very, very good! Now all we need is a head of lettuce and a tomato and we'd have the most artistic salad ever.bert cortes 02 Feb 2007

Lisa, your onions bring tears to my eyes! (haha) The detail is exquisite. I agree with Ruth. You are a natural oil painter! I haven't been brave enough to try oils. I've always painted in watercolors or acrylics. Beautiful work.Ruth Kauffman 01 Feb 2007
Lisa...this is amazing!!! I kid you not...you are a natural oil painter!! Your realism and detail are excellent! I would probably sign with the burnt orange color or something a little lighter because you don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb but you do want it to be seen. Just my thought...Randy Nore 01 Feb 2007
