The figure in this painting came from a drawing I did of a sleeping girl, but for the painting I wanted to suggest something about the attitude of meditation, a sense of abandon and trust that happens in the meditative state. Her hands cup a small blue egg in a classic pose of offering. It is 31" x 50" on raw linen, half drawn with red conte crayon and half painted in oil.
