Garlic Festival this weekend - Carp Farmers' Market


Carpe Allium - (seize the garlic)
24"x36" acrylic on canvas


All things garlic is the focal point of the Carp Farmers' Market this weekend. To get in the spirit I've painted four garlic-themed paintings of which this is one. Garlic paintings are a challenge.
