Egg Tempera Portraits

Egg Tempera Portraits

Mary Brice

Mary Brice

9” wide by 12” high egg tempera on board. Produced using a daguerreotype image of her from the Library of Congress and photos I took of Point of Honor, the house behind her, which was her home as an enslaved person.

Charlotte Scott

Charlotte Scott

16 “ wide by 20” tall egg tempera on board. Produced using a daguerreotype image of her from the Library of Congress, I combined the images I had taken in Lincoln Park on Capitol Hill in Washington DC with the dress in Michele Obama’s portrait by Amy Sherald and the greyish skin tones used by that artist. Charlotte Scott is from Lynchburg and as a freed person, proposed a monument to Abraham Lincoln after his death, and also provided the first five dollars toward that monument. Her name is the only name other than Abe’s on the monument.

St. Thomas

St. Thomas

9” wide by 12” tall egg tempera on board. I wanted to try my hand at an icon and had a fellow teacher who wanted one, and thus, my version of St. Thomas. My first and almost assuredly last icon.

Grandchildren of Jack and Linda

Grandchildren of Jack and Linda

18” x 24” egg tempera on claboard.
