A quiet fleeting moment, a portrait of something lost.
4×6 inches, egg tempera on panel.
The historical precursor to oil painting, egg tempera is a delicate and beautiful medium that is as rewarding as it is painstaking. There is no blending; every stroke dries quickly but crisply, therefore gentle transitions are created not by blurring the paint while wet, but by laying down hundreds of translucent marks one at a time until softness and luminosity are achieved. I have recently rediscovered my years-long love for egg tempera, and this piece is a shameless homage to one of my favorite working artists, and a mentor to me in the medium, Julio Reyes. If you don’t know his work already I heartily recommend it.
This piece is not yet framed (I usually photograph my work in a frame, but egg tempera has a very delicate surface until it has cured for a few days, so I elected not to in this case), but will be shipped in a 4×6 inch frame unless the collector prefers I ship it unframed.

My goal is the object of beauty, but that goal is achieved through engagement in process, and neither aim is worthwhile without meaning and intention. I seek to talk about the ordinary with the language of story, to arrest with exquisite imagery, and ultimately to leave viewers with a feeling, a lingering sense, that they have had a brush with the sublime.
