These shallots were lying on the old cabinet I use as a still life shelf and I loved the way the light struck them dramatically, but left them mostly in shadow.  It creates a really dynamic contrast, as well as a bit of mystery. That is what I find so appealing about chiaroscuro painting.  Continuing my experimentation with the palette knife, I used it to create the texture of the cabinet.
