I wanted a composition with a red onion included since I love painting them.  It makes a nice color impact along with the orange.  The orange is a little sad that it is on the sidelines but manages to be a key player and keeps your eye from going out of the painting. I am re-reading the chapter on composition in Carol Marine's book and it seems to help me a great deal.

Thanks for commenting on my paintings in the challenge! I am learning so much from the other artists.

Red Onion, 6 x 6" oil on panel, ©2015, Fay Terry

Red Onions are currently my favorite vegetable to paint. I didn't know how much fun I would have with the beautiful color.  I used a combination of Alizarin and Burnt Sienna with a little pthalo green added for the shadow areas. I have several of these colorful favorites so you may see more of them before I decide to make roasted red onions.

This still life was fun to paint, especially the red onion!
