     I love egg tempera.  It has its own quirks, but what a beautiful medium.  The translucent quality of the paint makes the painting glow from within.  We are combining egg tempera with gilding-I have just finished a portrait of my daughter using silver leaf over a relief pattern rendered in gesso as a decorative border....and am very pleased with the results.  I will post a photo at a later date.

    On my daily walks-even prior to the arrival of Lucy (the second best dog) I find many treasures.
    Money, hardware, parts of childrens' toys.... all find their way into my art.
