So, have you started a painting from it, Doris. I LOVE red onions. They last for months and male wonderful “subjects”. You could have lots of fun with your kids slicing up certain vegetables and fruits, looking at all the different faces that present themselves.

Check the SEARCH box in the upper right hear for some that I may have featured here, such as “apple”.

OOH! The red onion photo would make a great abstract painting! I love it’s bumpy shape and the lines and pattern of color.

Hi Debbii,

Good to see you here again. I find your response to the top photo most interesting, especially because in an email sent directly to me another person saw it as “a fetus holding the onion [garlic]”

I’m smiling at your comment on the bottom. Yes, I can see the pony tail and knowing that your husband is a jazz musician/composer, my instinctive response, in reading what you wrote, was the back of the head of a band player. I think the colors add to it.

Thanks for playing.

Sheila – to me, the top photo almost looks like an egg sac of some sort with a baby inside – new life waiting to break forth. And is you think about it, that is what a garlic clove is. You would plant each clove inside to grow a new plant. There is also a face in this one that I can see. The bottom photo looks like the back of someone’s head with a pony tail.
