And this is the very first piece I attempted when I returned to the board. Don’t usually do food.. and don’t usually use pastels, but I figured that it would be easy on me.. considering I had next to NO energy or stamina.

    Is there a medium you haven’t mastered Barb? Of course not. You definately know your onions. (Hope that’s a saying in your part of the world too otherwise my pun’s fallen flat.)

    Onions? They look like garlic bulbs to me, but you haven’t actually stated that.

    Beautifully rendered!!

  • you know, I have no idea if they are garlic or onions.. I just liked the way they looked.. but the seemed rather smooth to be garlic..
