Swinging on a Star oil 8.5x8

Part of the beet bondage series. Painted this one three times. Played with the placement of the tops of the onions and the values of the bulbs. Decided on a swingier line for the middle bulb tops and darker value for all three bulbs, especially the far left. I also started the painting as a 10x8 but decided that it needed to be cropped in. Mitch Albala in his landscape book talks about a flexible picture window. Basically you paint on a larger canvas that you think you will need and have the ability to crop in and out as the composition demands. And it's often quite demanding.
