4.5″x9″ acrylic on paper, 2014.
We’re lucky to have friends who farm, and so there are often fresh vegetables in our house that are almost too beautiful to eat. This head of garlic lay on my kitchen windowsill in just this state of half-ravished repose for several days while I washed dishes and marveled at the beautiful colors inside it. I couldn’t help but make this little acrylic-on-paper study before sacrificing the rest of it to a batch of pesto.
