robyn's eggs

For mother's day this past year, I painted my mom a picture. Her name is Robyn so I decided to paint her some Robyn's eggs. When looking for inspiring photos to base my painting off of, I only found nests with 3 eggs inside. Since my mom has 4 children I decided to give her 4 eggs anyways... the 4th one is me! I couldn't leave myself out of the picture. :) and it worked perfectly because her kitchen is blue.

Things that I learned from this painting:

• the colors of the egg are different because of the reflections of the twigs around them.
• the twigs have blue in them because that is reflected from the eggs.

This was my first painting that I have done totally on my own. I started a watercolor class 2 years ago and did 4 paintings, that I will share later, with the guidance of my teacher. It was a very liberating feeling to find out that I can paint on my own too. I do not think that this is my favorite painting by far-- however, I love it because of what it proved to me. That I can do it.
