Easter Egg

When I went to use this egg, the tip had obviously cracked and leaked, and it was stuck in the carton. When I finally got it out, it came minus the tip of the shell. Egg got everywhere. But I couldn't help marveling at the shell, with the naturally shaped hole in the tip. I knew it would soon become the subject of one of my blog paintings.

As I sat in church on Easter Sunday, it hit me. The empty egg. The empty tomb.

I chose a vertical format, with the egg positioned low, to suggest a sense of spirituality.
