Here's version 2 of the onion setup. This time the surface is a 1/4" mdf panel with multiple layers of gesso on it and black acrylic under painting.I rather like the resulting texture. The painting has rather a dark mood to it- and then there's the knife...thus the title. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's painting! It was gratifying to see that so many people liked it.

Here's my entry for this week's DPW Challenge. For those of you who don't know, the challenge is to mix a new paint color for each stroke that's applied- and no small brushes. The idea is that the painting will be more fresh and spontaneous, and the colors will be more unified and interesting. I painted 4 paintings featuring these onions; look for them in the days ahead!
One more thing- does anybody know why the thumbnails are no longer showing up on many of the blog links?????
