Eggs: 09/30/07
Art is a made up of compromises. Sometimes its in form and sometimes its in color. Even when trying for a perfect copy it is still a representation.

One way to focus on the craft is to set limits. In the case of "Eggs" the limits are on the palette. The scheme is almost monochromatic.

My version of eggs and the monochromatic palette. are both inspired by Michael Naples's "Eggs on White" painting. Naples notes his enjoyment of finding the "subtle difference in temperature the eggs have versus the cloth." He shows the warmth of the eggs by adding a faint yellow cast to the eggs.

In my set up I didn't think to consider the temperatures of the textures. Instead I was thinking mostly of the lighting, trying to give a hint of color in a gray and white scene. I used a couple faint pink lights and blue lights. I think I probably should have used more to soften the effect on the cloth but I'm still pleased with the results.
