"The Garden Path"

 "The Garden Path"

18 x 24 Egg Tempera

$600 framed
I painted this at Heathcote Gardens in Ft. Pierce, Florida, one of my favorite places to do plein air painting. 
I loved the purple Wisteria on the old lattice structure.  This particular area in the garden has gone through a change and the old green house is no longer there or this structure.  The Wisteria was mostly saved, thanks be!  Egg tempera is my favorite medium next to watercolor and I have never seen anyone use it outdoors around here, but I thoroughly enjoyed working with it outdoors.

  1. This is a lovely painting Egretta - the lattice fence is perfect for the Egg Tempera. You must live where it is humid.
    I too love egg tempera and am lucky enough to teach it. I really enjoy the type of artists who finds this particular medium absorbing. They LOVE painting!
