I was approached by a curator and asked if I would like to participate in an art exhibit this fall. After reviewing my website, he mentioned I may have several pieces that would fit in nicely with the theme of the show. Don’t you love the internet? I responded back with an enthusiastic “YES, I would love to participate!”, and I am really looking forward to the meeting the other exhibiting artists.

The name of the exhibit is “Black, White and Easily Red”, and will be at the Cabarrus Arts Council October 25 – December 31, 2010. I know this seems like a long time off…and well..it is, but it at the same time I feel like it will be here faster than a New York minute.

This egg tempera painting – “Hanging by a Thread” was inspired by the theme – “Black, White and Easily Red”.

I know I’ve been neglecting my blog for other things. I spent most of January preparing to teach a workshop in Photoshop Elements to fellow artists. The workshop was this past Saturday and it went very well. All the participants indicated they would be a reference for future students. That’s a plus!

Now back to painting and other creative endeavors. This little painting is an egg tempera painting. I make my own paints with a fresh egg yolk and pure pigments. I painted for a number of years with this medium, but it’s very time consuming and most artists today quit using it out of frustration. Although I’ve veered over to oils and other mediums, I will continue to use egg tempera as well.

More about egg tempera and it’s history in future posts.
