Sunny Side Up
8 in. x 8 in., acrylic on cradled panel

Last year I painted bacon. At the time, it didn't occur to me to move on to the obvious eggy follow-up. When I paint, one thing does not automatically lead to another. But of course, now I'm thinking about toast... anyway. This wonderful fried egg was a fun and interesting challenge to paint, from the crispy golden edges to the scattered salt and pepper. There's not actually a lot of pure, straight-from-the-tube white in this piece; the subtle pale colors swirling in the cooked egg white are surprisingly convincing and I was able to reserve the white for the few highlights.
