Well, it was a good idea but very difficult to portray in black and white. The yolk was not a bright yellow and the white in shadow was almost darker than the yellow. I suppose you get the idea. I should have painted it in color with pastels. Live and learn.
I will post it here anyway, since it is in the big book and there to stay forever.... I used the Micron 01 fine line marker pen.

Number 5, egg - First I cut it in half, that wasn't great so I peeled it. Worse, but sketched the shell which was a bit better.
I wonder what my next clever item will be??
The Longhorns are playing Baylor in Waco starting last night. The three game series set for Thursday, Friday, Saturday so they won't play on Easter Sunday. The Longhorns lost last night, 6 - 2. The hitters couldn't get any hits together and the pitchers couldn't get 3 outs together. Sigh...... Better luck this evening. Hook 'em Horns!!
Tomorrow is the Empty Bowl in Smithville. The bowls are decorated with birds and there is a raffle of an Enid Wood painting. Check it out. http://www.smithvilleemptybowl.com/

I think doing an egg in pencil or pen would be hard. You need that yellow for the yolk. lol Good attempt!
Thanks, Joan. We will see if anyone else comes up with a good egg.
you can tell they are eggs :) but def hard to draw in black and white. I really like empty bowl idea, good idea and gets the message across in a memorable way
Jennifer Rose, thanks. The broken shell helps, but without words, I doubt I would recognize "egg". Smiling.
Jennifer Rose, we go to the Bastrop Empty bowl and I usually donate for the silent auction.
Broken egg shells would seem hard, but you did a good job. Enid did a good job on her pastel too. I've been lazy on my pastel work lately. Sometimes it is easier to do little watercolors rather than get out all my pastels. I need a place to keep them out. That is a work itself.
Bag Blog, you are kind about my shells. Ha. Enid does beautiful pastels, I really like her NM landscapes. I am lucky to have my studio where I can keep my pastels out. I have them all covered with papers, boards and junk. Need to clean my studio and use my tools!!
