Since it's Spring, I thought I would begin this blog with a little painting I did some time back at about this same time of year. It is a clove of garlic that had begun to sprout. I think this is one of those commonplace  yet miraculous things that we often take for granted, or may even find annoying if your garlic is no longer useable. But for me, I think, 'how did that garlic know to sprout, even without being exposed to the sun? Same with onions, which I also did a few paintings of. So, for your viewing pleasure, I share my moment of "awe" with you.
