Day 117: “Red Onion”, acrylic on stretched canvas, 8x8”. I did this using the Zorn palette which consists only of cadmium red, yellow ochre and ivory black with white. Since there’s no true blue and ivory black is supposed to stand in for the blue given the contextual colors around it, it was very challenging to achieve the purple hues of the onion. So I just darkened the red tones as much as I could.

This is part of my year long project, "This sweet simple existence". During this year of living creatively, I will create small artworks everyday based around objects from my daily life, (mostly food, household items, perhaps the view from my window etc). thereby simply documenting the extraordinary in the ordinary joys of a simple life. This painting will be signed, varnished and ready to hang
