I love experimenting with egg-tempera painting, with First Fruits a ‘first’ with using dove egg-tempera and also feathers collected* from my pet dove ‘Hendrix’. First Fruits is a reminder that our first and best efforts are in fact a form of thanks and worship....and there is so much I am thankful for, it makes my heart sing!
