Onion.

Some onion trivia, acrylic on board.
I always have onions on hand in the cupboard or fridge and I use them a lot in cooking and salads. Dogs aren’t suppose to eat them but I remember my old dog, Minnie, a German pointer crossed with a golden retriever, would sneak them out of the cupboard and I’d catch her chomping on one while her eyes watered as she screwed up her face. She lived to a good old age of 15 years old.
I also read somewhere that you should never eat a cut onion that’s been sitting in the fridge for any length of time, and then I read somewhere else that that’s not true and it’s perfectly fine to store a cut onion in the fridge and eat it later. I chose to believe the second option and often use half an onion one day and the other the next.

PROFILE:
I attended the North Adelaide school of fine art in the late 1980s, and from then on I started creating art to sell. With a focus on printmaking, painting and textiles, I built up my first small art business. Several businesses later I settled on my current art-business model. My body of work includes painting for exhibitions, commissioned paintings, portraits and Illustrations, showcasing and selling my work in shops and on-line, teaching workshops and tutoring painting in various venues around Adelaide.

SKILLS:
Painting. Illustrating. Portraiture. Large scale murals. Workshop presenter. Art tutor. Blogger. Mentoring.

PRACTICE:
As an artist, I take seriously the development of my own unique style through my practice of painting and creating art everyday. I seek to present an appealing balance between chaos and order in my paintings, and this best reflects who I am as a person living in the world.

I'm also interested in recycling, if I can re-use a beautiful old frame, or a surface that's suitable I will make it into a work of art - I also seek to paint on surfaces that are made from recycled materials where possible.

Thankyou for popping in and having a look,
Sincerely,
Cat Leonard
