Onion
8h x 10w
Oil on Canvas
A sweet exploration of everyday life. This little oil painting intices us to slow down and enjoy the small wonders of the world. A simple onion on a cutting board. A painted mystery of how the evening might unfold. A dinner with friends sharing a French onion soup or a quiet night cooking alone with a warming glass of wine.
About the Artist
Zoe Hadley comes by her artistic talent quite naturally. As a native Californian, she follows in the path of her grandmother, Zoe Gibbons, a recognized California oil painter (d. 1960), and her mother, Zoe Smith, an accomplished portrait artist and respected teacher of art in Southern California (d. 1992). “Art” was spoken and clearly practiced in her home growing up. This legacy spawned a rich background for her own artistic journey.
Zoe’s technique is painterly, and her own personal style incorporates the play of brush stroke and design with a subtle color palette.
Zoe has received outstanding critical acclaim, and was selected as “an artist to collect” by Southwest Art Magazine. Her works are being collected by many fine private and corporate collections both nationally and internationally. Zoe's works are included in the prestigious collections of Roy Rose (Catalina, CA.) and Ms. Joan Irvine Smith (Orange Co., CA.).
