Me and Booker T
Booker T and the MGs did "Green Onions" in 1962. Me, I did them in 2014! My husband took the photo about 15 years ago, I decided it was time to use it for a watercolor. Can you say A WHOLE LOT OF GREEN? I actually did this watercolor with a different approach which helped since about 95 percent of the painting was green. I usually paint all of one color pretty much at the same time. I decided to paint one small section (one onion) at a time. I was able to get the variation in the green this way, I did not start with a large amount of green ready to paint, but rather mixed the green for each onion individually. That took a while longer, but it was a good experience. Here's my green onions, Booker T's follows!
