"Quilter and Pincushion"

18x24 egg tempera on handboard, framed $600

In this painting, I played with ways to apply the egg tempera, using a sponge and rag, as well as brushes. I layered different colors to give the effect I wanted, building up thin washes. The painting is framed in a chestnut colored wooden frame that compliments the warm colors in the painting. This is one of my favorite paintings that I have done. Hope you enjoy it, too.
