breakfast egg

Breakfast egg - daily pastel painting
5" by 7" daily pastel painting

It's quite a challenge to get the composition right with an egg. I cracked two eggs this morning and the yolks kept moving around to the side. And getting those shells to stay where I placed them in the albumen . . . I  must have taken at least 30 photos for this little painting before the composition worked for me!

And yes, I had a hearty breakfast this morning!

Anyway, I saturated the colors once I started painting. All the white snow outside is making me crave intensity of color.
Snow. . that's right. A few hours ago we had 17" and it continues to fall. It's a perfect day for painting.
