Red Onions at Isabelle Farm Drawing

As I wandered through the organic produce market at Isabelle Farm in Boulder County, CO, I was suddenly stopped with amazement of the color of these red onions. I quickly asked the owner if I could capture a few pictures and slightly rearrange produce for a better arrangement of objects and layout. Then for the next two years, I worked off and on again, on this large work of art. I cover my wood canvases with repurposed burlap that I collect from local coffee roasters. I enjoy leaving areas of the burlap unfinished to expose the typography and graphics on the bags. The burlap gives the whole art piece a surly texture, which adds to the aged appearance. I've also framed this piece (hand built by my husband) with a "shadow crate". This crate serves two purposes. One, it finishes the look of the entire piece and second, it acts as a protective frame when shipping. Oil pastels never officially dry out, so the image must be protected from the elements. I do not like placing my art behind glass, as I feel it should be viewed out in the open - with the best lighting to show all of the colors I've drawn into this piece.
