Egg Tempera:
Connecticut 
Summer, 1978, Nils #
38. Egg tempera on panel after a photograph from National
Geographic Magazine September 1977. 5 1/4" x 9
1/4" ( 13.5 cm x 23.5 cm)
My love affair with egg
tempera goes back to my first experiments with it for the
Nils multimedia project in 1978.
This panel was created by making a collage
which was then gessoed and painted in egg tempera. You can
see the folds on the fabric in the dark brown pants.
