The vision for this painting came to me in a waking dream. I staged the photo for it on the rocky shoreline of the North Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. For me, the shoreline represents a liminal or threshold space of transition between land and water.

The eggs in the sterling silver bowl are made from marble. For me, eggs are symbols of transition and new beginnings, and dark brown or black eggs represent a primordial source of potential. They were part of my (now deceased) beloved Grandmother's antique collection and I greatly admired them when I was a child.

The eggs in the sterling silver bowl are presented to the viewer as though they are a reflection of the viewer's innate potential, inviting them to choose one or two. In fact, if you look up into the glossy surface of the eggs, you might be surprised!

The bowl reflects the rocky shoreline and white napkin, and all subjects are backlit by the rising morning sun - the promise of a new day.
