What I'll do for LOVE

So many people ask me about my cholesterol level because of all the eggs I've cracked for this series. In fact, I don't eat eggs at all - I eat "Eggbeaters." So, for the love of painting this series, I buy the eggs, crack them, and rinse the contents down the drain unless a neighbor wants them. But, I've only used about six dozen egg shells (see photo above of my "muse") for inspiration in the entire series of over fifty paintings! I've sketched them in all kinds of poses and - at this pont - paint them from memory. However, I have a box full of carefully preserved broken shells just in case I want to take another look. So, don't worry about my cholesterol folks - I'm OK :)

That is too funny! We eat about 5 dozen eggs a week - raw, of course, but no cholesterol problems here either. I love hearing stories about how people get their "muse". Btw, you have been awarded the one lovely blog award by me. Enjoy!
