Egg Tempera Paintings

Egg Tempera on True Gesso board. 8"x10" 2010 NFS

My son was my inspiration of this first portrait and only portrait I have ever accomplished. My family found it interesting that when I completed the painting my son looked older than he was at that time. As he continued to grow he looked more like the image in the painting. Now he has surpassed the little boy stage and is a teen. This painting will always be my personal favorite.

Myth's hair is long and curly. I love to compare his hair with other natural elements.  In this case stacked wood.

This is the bus that was featured in the John Krakauer book that Sean Penn produced and directed the film “Into the Wild”. I live on Stampede Road and have visited the bus several times. The men who turned it into a shelter live in my community and were featured in several tv documentaries about Chris McCandless and his adventure to the bus that ended in his demise. I made the gesso board myself. The panel has curved edges to compliment the curves of the old Fairbanks City bus. Please contact me for more details.

Commissioned

This Icon is a commissioned copy of a Greek Orthodox icon. I made the egg tempera paint and as well as the gesso panel. The figures are representational of the Saints Helena and her son Constantine who both played an important role in the beginning of the Orthodox Church and Christianity.

This was the second egg tempera icon I completed. I cut the panels in a representational shape of the Orthodox Church “onion roofs”. The three panels are hinged and stand upright. The back is painted ultramarine blue with a scrolled gold cross painted on the center panel.
