Garlic – Allium sativum
I started a charcoal picture of a two garlic bulbs. In this first picture I’ve just completed the first bulb. I’ll post the finished piece by end of week.

And here is the finished piece a week later. I’m pretty happy with this one. I think I’d definitely like to revisit Garlic again, and maybe do a mini series with 3-4 pieces.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for dropping by my blog. I love your work and your “randomness” is refreshing.
I’m delving into various art and design related territory this year, also trying to get art back into its rightful place in my life. By the grace of God, I believe that this is my year as well. Your work and writing is inspiring and I will be back to visit again. Please don’t hesitate to do the same.

Hi Mike, indeed this is my first charcoal. I had a good bit of direction and guidance which helped tremendously. Had i just picked up the charcoal and went, I wouldn’t have gotten the same results lol.
