Eggs Over Easy and Artist's Statement


Eggs Over Easy
            In my artwork, I was trying to use round figures to portray an open egg inside of a flowery bowl. To accomplish this, my strokes were in a circular motion, instead of a straight line.

In the beginning, I was thinking I should use watercolor; try something new. But, that was a mistake. After that, I covered most of the artwork with acrylic paint. And, now that I think about it, I should have painted over the whole piece of paper. If I become famous, and people buy my paintings for centuries, they will diminish before they reach all the buyers they were supposed to.
