first egg

Eventually, everyone has to paint a raw egg. We were given a dozen beautiful, brown, organic eggs. First I saved them to paint, then we began to eat them so today I had to paint one before they were gone. The changing light made this a real challenge. It would have been much easier to paint it from a photograph or from my laptop with the image on the display. But, after finding yellow oil paint on my laptop over the weekend, I'm done with that process. 6 x 6 inches, oil on gessoed panel.
