My neighbor, Linda, talked me into taking a class in Egg Tempera from a woman named Mary Jane Miller. As you can tell from the title of the blog entry, it created a huge upheaval in the way I am thinking about my art. I am pretty sure it was because it is so difficult and I enjoy a challenge. I researched the supplies and spent a ton of money in order to switch media. My first painting was ruined after about two and a half weeks (don't ask) and the second one already has posed a problem...because I applies the gold leaf wrong (don't ask about that either). If I am not careful, this month will go by with nothing to show for my time!
I will start posting my thoughts on this process because I need all of these thought stored in one place. This will be like my pensive (sort of like Professor Dumbledore's).
