All this plastic in the world and it is counter to the ever-changing cycle of life. The crow will decay and go back into the natural world, while the plastic will stay the same for a very long time. Visually interesting to paint, it offers a counter to the dynamic structure to the crow body underneath. The onion painting offers us a chance to look at skins and surfaces. The natural and the manmade. The way that light plays off surfaces is of interest to me as a painter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1012\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-1012x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-1012x1024.jpg 1012w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-768x777.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-1519x1536.jpg 1519w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/lcbates\/files\/2022\/05\/Bowman-\u2013-Onion-1-1-2025x2048.jpg 2025w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1012px) 100vw, 1012px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Leslie Bowman, <em>Onion, <\/em>2019.
