CHICKEN FARMERS 2008 (their ethereal little bodies are egg tempera--no pun intended but now I do think this sort of thing is funny of course--maybe I thought it was when I did it, too--god knows what I was thinking) --this is a work-in-progress and is about 30 x30 inches on cradled birch. From a series on TRUTH/CONCEALMENT/REVEALMENT inspired by Heidegger's POETRY, LANGUAGE, THOUGHT and discussions with an old friend from high school last summer...
and another from that series...
ME (on a good day)
and what I did today to entertain the children...
(they're little vintage wool-paper-print quilt-things that were supposed to be ornaments but they're a bit on the large side and I doubt that I'l finish all the details any time soon since there's a LOT of hand-stitching, too-------the wool is from the day Kitty B and I got lost on the way to Jill Weiner's mud-fest)...MORE ON THESE NEXT WEEK
and tomorrow I'll start BAKING COOKIES!
How did you know I juggle buck naked in my spare time?

Beautiful work! These are visually rich. I have never used egg tempera but heard it is a bit tedious to use. Is this true?
