Quail Eggs - Original Oil Painting - Delicate Still Life

Tiny, speckled, and fragile.

"Quail Eggs" is an original oil painting that explores the delicate beauty of nature. I was fascinated by the intricate, speckled patterns on the shells, which make each egg unique. The composition features three eggs: two remain perfectly intact, standing guard over a third one that lies broken.

This small detail, the broken shell, adds a layer of narrative and vulnerability to the piece. It transforms a simple study of texture into a story about fragility. The 6x6-inch format is intimate enough to draw you in to see every little speckle and crack.

Why this original is a unique find:

- Narrative Detail: The contrast between the whole eggs and the broken one creates visual tension and storytelling.

- Intricate Texture: I focused on rendering the unique mottling of the quail shells with precise brushwork.

- Intimate Scale: A small, gem-like painting that rewards close viewing, perfect for a bedside table or a quiet corner.
