Please tell me with honesty that this not a photo of one of the classic painters. This photo is far too beautiful for mere photography with "pushed" post-processing. Obviously, it is a cloaked expression of colored/white love and is a protest against anti-miscegenation laws.
Jim-Pops, Simplicity of props and having a visual analysis of the end goal is what all photographers should learn/cultivate. I have quit watching Topaz hour-long webinars in which the presenter sort of wanders to the end of the hour vs saying at the offset... "here is my goal and end result and here step-wise is how I achieved it." If you, Jim-Pops, gave a seminar for Topaz, then I would watch the simple subjects grow into this superb painting.

Thanks for expressing your thoughts Donald. I was not intending to copy any of the classic painters style. I researched and saw a background full of color that I thought would work with my onions and purchased it. Then did the magic of masking, blending and texturizing. Was so pleased with your reaction to my final results.
