I decided I wanted to learn to paint in egg tempera. So I enrolled myself in a short course at Dulwich Gallery and this is the painting I made there. A painting on the theme of attachments, our attachment to the world, water, other animals, trees and air. Preparing the egg tempera and using it to paint was really fun and actually much easier than I thought.
