The three egg nest

This large hexagonal canvas is very versatile for hanging. You choose which angle you like.

Gerda Lipski is a German painter who experiments with wonderful texture. I am inspired by her techniques to play and so the nest became the beginning of the story .

It progressed from there with the appearance of three dark blue eggs, speckled with brown, white and real gold leaf, all of which sit slightly raised off the canvas.

The colours are reminiscent of medieval images and the entire hue has an antique feel to it because of the raw umber , green blemishes and the blue of the eggs.

Note- given the small house I live in, I struggled to find a wall big enough to photograph such a large canvas it on, so its been staged in mock rooms. It would be truly dramatic on a large wall, in an office or somewhere earthy.
