As you may remember, I fell in love with Ann Pace's "sugar" eggs at an ANG auction several years ago. It took me a little while to find out who did the fabulous egg. I had to do one and Bertha loved mine. She finished it quickly and we just got it back from the finisher. It's just lovely.
Some canvases really remind me of my childhood. The finishing of this egg with the tableaux within the egg made me think of Sugar eggs we got at Easter. (The paper dolls made me think of the paper doll books my grandmother let us play with.)
