Description

When I first started calling myself "an artist" back in 2005, I was watching a TV morning show and they said that it was the solstice that day, and it was one of the two times a year you could stand eggs up on end, and they gave a demonstration.

I thought that might make an interesting picture, so I bought a couple of dozen eggs and set up my point and shoot camera and took this shot, then gave it a painterly look..

It has sold many times, as artwork, on cups, aprons, T-shirts and so on.

I later learned that you may stand eggs up on end any day, and the solstice story was not factual: Fake News! At any rate, I'm glad I responded to the story or I would never have taken the photo nor made so many customers happy.
