Metamorphosis

2007.07.18











First I painted a picture of a red onion
and then bought a red onion
In time the store onion
softened, altered its lines
and changed —colours blended-
and contours took on nuances—
it flowered


I found I could say things with colors that I couldn't say in any other way -- things that I had no words for.

--Georgia O'Keeffe

aurian Who would have thought a red onion could be so beautiful in its own right? What a brilliant idea :)

Carley Wow! I am in awe....both of the beauty of these shots and of your skill in being able to peel away one layer of onion skin in one piece!

vollenda Wow, these are gorgeous. Abstract, yet very onion like at the same time. The colors are fantastic. That last shot is a masterpiece. Your eyes see things most people overlook.
