Everything I thought I knew about painting changed the first time I worked with egg tempera.

Not because it was harder. Because it was more honest.

“Far Away” egg tempera on panel ✨
My favorite trait of this medium is the luminous glow—light doesn’t just sit on the surface; it vibrates through the translucent layers, breathing life into even the most muted palette. Quiet colors awaken, rich and alive with subtle depth.

A cropped detail from “Young Pegasus” — I’ve been thinking of this piece lately. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder ✨🪶 Hope y’all have been having a great Autumn…the change of weather is divine.
