I think I did a better job with the soft edges this time.

Alabaster Eggs

An artist gave me a tray of seven alabaster eggs a couple of years ago and I think this might the first time I've used them in a still life painting.  I've been painting eggs lately so I figured "why not?"

Eggs in a Bowl

It was easy to put the composition together for this painting: eggs in a bowl, and something to break up the monotony of the big empty gray space in front (in this case playing cards).  But I didn't see that the bowl casts a distorted reflection of the area around it until I was nearly finished painting the bowl.  An unexpected challenge and an exercise in values.

Eggs

I've been painting a lot of eggs lately.  It's a little harder than I expected, but I'm liking it a lot.  The big challenge for me is getting the edges right while accurately depicting the round shape.  It's a good exercise in painting.
