Passions of an Odd Chick

Easter with Egon





Odd Chick lays some eggs.

Do I wake up in a different world everyday or what? Blame this on Egon Schiele - or my daughter, I blame all my weird stuff on her. She encourages it.

This is a mixed-media piece done on gallery canvas with watercolor wax pastel crayons and gesso.

Sweet Farmer didn't like some beautiful little pears I painted in the same composition (he said he had never seen a purplish pear), so I think this was my revenge piece. Boy, was it sweet!

Never seen a purplish pear?!? He needs to come market in my neighborhood. I hope your revenge was as sweet as purplish pear juice can be :)
This pieces is wildly emotive and I love the multiple colors and layers I can see coming through - texture, gesture, expression - it's got it all!! Fantastic.

I love the colors and the textures ... the faces look like moods (or moodswings)....

I can see the pears ;)

Poor farmer is probably scratching his head thinking about Venus and Mars and wondering "what's it all about alfy?"
