Welcome to A Painter's Portal

A space to share original oil and egg tempera paintings by

hardboard with traditional gesso sotile. Paintings will be for

Passage to Another Time

When I started on this painting I sat with no preconceived idea. I just put out a bunch of pigments and tempered them with the egg yolk medium and just started laying down color after color, hundreds and hundreds of tiny brush strokes heaped one upon the other....eventually something started to appear. The "portal" part of the painting was originally on a diagonal to the painting surface. The idea for the tree just came to me as I painted, and then I added in a background landscape from imagination.
