Egg Tempera Shell and Sand: 4" x 4" Vicini

I went back to one of my favorite mediums - egg tempera. This painting incorporates several different techniques that really are not visible in this photo. I used the egg tempera for the texture, oil and impasto for the shell. I painted in egg tempera for years before putting it aside for more forgiving medium of oil. I admired the work of Andrew Wyeth and Robert Vickrey. I guess I am old school at heart.

I painted several of these types of paintings which I hope to display in the coming days.

The Exhibition Has Opened !

Well, it actually happened. A bozo like me was given an opportunity from a Gallery owner who believed in me and who stayed with me even in tough times. Elliott Fouts, the owner of Elliott Fouts Gallery, hung my show this weekend and it is now open. The opening reception is February 14th.

Elliott was kind enough to take a couple of pictures of the Gallery (as you can see). I have another one that I will post tomorrow and I hope to have more from the opening.

I want to thank everyone who has written to me and who has wished me the best. I really appreciate all your emails and support.

NEW SERIES -4" x 4" : ICONS Coming Soon

A number of years ago I was greatly influenced by the work of Andrew Wyeth (who's death is a great loss) and Robert Vickrey. I experimented for several years with egg tempera and gold leaf. In addition, the early Religious paintings of the 13th and 14th century have always been one part of history that fascinated me. I enjoyed the gold leaf and the art of egg tempera with the use of cross hatching. Andrew Wyeth practice this technique as did Robert Vickrey (who I met at an opening in Michigan a number of years ago).

Having said that, I started a small series called 'ICONS' (small 4" x 4" on wood) that illustrate some of these fascinating and intriguing religious icons and figures. My paintings are not done in tempera but in oil. I use 23 k gold leaf with wood engraving. The subject is very different for me and I suspect that I will get some interesting feedback. The paintings are not intended to be religious (far from it). I know this is not my normal still life paintings but I plan on only doing a small number of series. I have provided the Elliott Fouts Gallery these paintings and they are available through his Gallery only for a limited time. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me or the Elliott Fouts Gallery for additional information.
