A good daily painter must be ever on the look out for subject material and always be ready to act . After my baker/wife finished baking the other morning, I spotted this flour covered measuring cup full of egg shells on the kitchen counter. I waited until she left the room, then I grabbed it. I quickly hid it down in the studio so she wouldn't clean it and throw out the egg shells before I had a chance to paint them.

Art schools should teach how to sneak props into the studio. It is a valuable skill that was nearly lost until the daily painting movement came along to reclaim this ancient practice. I have heard that some classical art ateliers still teach this method, but it is a long 3 year process that most young artists don't have patience for. Where is the discipline these days?

SOLDI think this maybe the first egg shell painting I have ever done. As a daily painter I think it is required to paint certain subjects...My daily painting resume is short on runny eggs, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and pastries. I guess I should get to work on some of those.

First egg painting? I bet you do more. Any excuse to paint white. I love it. White is so much fun.
Great subject matter !!
Very charming - I love this one.
