The vision for this painting, Possibilities, came to me in a dream. I staged the photograph reference for it on the rocky shoreline near where I live in northern Ontario, Canada. For me, the shoreline represents a threshold space of transition between land and water. The eggs in the sterling silver bowl are made from marble and they were part of my beloved Nanny's antique collection. For me, eggs are symbols of transition and new beginnings, and dark brown or black eggs represent a deep, primordial source of potential. They are presented to the viewer as a reflection of his or her innate capacities, inviting them to choose one or two. In fact, if you look up into the glossy surface of the eggs, you might be surprised! The bowl reflects the rocky shoreline and white napkin, and all subjects are backlit by the rising morning sun - the promise of a new day.
