THE EGG...NATURES STILL LIFE...

  THE EGG is the original STILL LIFE ... and one of the subjects that I return to again and again... with the change of seasons and the natural inclination to begin hibernation I had the urge to paint eggs. After the composition was in place I stopped ... without language or questioning I cracked one egg and played with the dripping yolk. I then went on to crack the other eggs.
                                    The creative process continues to amaze me. Let it flow. Without language the right brain is powerful with expressing shapes and colors. Yes, the left brain helps out with technical support... we are in cooperation mode .... thinking holistically... sharing the problem solving...right and left brains in harmony.
                                   Well, I am on an egg roll here... ! This 6x18 acrylic on linen is gallery wrapped. For price and availability contact gigihackford@yahoo.com... thanks for viewing and you might check out gigihackfordart.com ....with gratitude.....G.
