A little switch here as I was in a more abstract frame of mind when this came off the easel. What I thought would be a simple exercise with three simple eggs, turned into a much more challenging afternoon at

I do love the actual look of rough shells as most eggs truly are when fresh off the farm. We get ours from our neighbor's farm and most of them are never smooth and shiny but contain the very best rich yokes and sometimes double yokes.
Great job on this, Carol.
I don't know if painting eggs is ever simple. Their shapes are challenging no matter what. These turned out great, love the texture of the paint and that white egg that stands out. An afternoon well spent!
GORGEOUS eggs, Carol!
Oh, I had to laugh at the title "Eggstravaganza." One of my solo shows was entitled that (in the day when I was still painting cracked eggshells). Nice piece!
Carol.. what i find most interesting about this little piece is that tension created between the texture of the paint and how smooth eggs are in reality.. nice job!
Beautifully done, Carol!
Nice composition and I love the richness of the background against the neutrals of the eggs.

Challenges can be fun! And, great for the minds. Well done!
mmm....eggs. I didn't know how many colours they could be until I moved out to my little rural island. Lovely soft light; I hadn't thought about how hard to paint the little devils might be, but I guess that steady-yet-irregular curve of them might be just as trying to keep on the canvas as it can the counter (rollrollroll smash!).
Great job, and thanks for the 'painting moment'. You're a poet's rest break.

La manière que vous avez traité ces oeufs me plaît. La matière et les couleurs apportent un relief intéressant. Peinture captivante.

lovely little painting. I love eggs..I have 7 hens who grace me with beautiful eggs every day. Too bad you aren't closer..I have too many..I could give you all you could ever want to paint!!!
Your title matches your beautiful painting perfectly! The egg-cellent title reminds me of an activities day my school organises called "Cultural Festival". It is a ball and one of the activities is egg decorating. Part and parcel to decorating it is coming up with an egg... title; like egg-scape, egg-austed etc. It is really alot of fun. I might put some of the photos on my blog for you to see!
what they said! every comment covers my thoughts exactly. i am in love with this, the palette just makes me tingle!
Beautiful card and even more beautiful painting, Carol!

GORGEOUS WORK!!! glad i stumbled upon your blog.
