I set this still life up for an oil painting class at Boca Grande. I love the loose brushwork in it, and managed not to overwork it, thanks to a student who begged me not to work on it any more! Thank God for my students, who teach me more than all my teachers put together. I did work on it some more, but not very much, and I think I have kept the spontaneity that he said he loved about it. I love the way the light hits that cabbage, and there is such a nice flow to the way the green onions slash through the “circle” of the painting composition.
