"Egg with Salt and Strawberry"





Oil on 5x7 hardboard panel

I was getting ready to eat a hard boiled egg one day and had it sitting on the counter, when I decided it looked interesting with some of the things nearby... so I pushed them together and took a few pictures, and then ate my egg. Today, I was going through my picture files looking for something to paint, and decided to try this. I started with a toned board, and tried to keep the paint thin, and keep details to a minimum. I like how it came out.

  3. Such unusual objects to be combined in a still life but it works beautifully. Wonderfully painted.
