First eggs study in a series of paintings exploring some of the external features of eggs – texture, variation in colour and markings which are heightened against the simplicity of the pastel background.  All four worked well together but now that three are sold it seems like a good idea to paint some more.  A very small change in the composition will give a new character to the little paintings.  Pheasant or quail’s eggs could well be contenders.
