Old Cotswold Legbar – oil on panel, 230mm x 120mm © 2013

———————

Eggs as a still-life is a trope almost as old as the still-life genre itself. However it seems that most modern versions of this formula use eggs unmarked by today’s standards of health & safety, which denuded eggs I’ve never seen since mine always come from a supermarket.

That and plus the beautiful colours of the crown stamp & the use-by-date on these Old Cotswold Legbar eggs are the reason I included them.

Evelyn Waugh (whom I have a bit of a thing for) managed to sneak into the painting also – who am I to refuse him that honour?
