G’day from the Sunset Coast of Western Australia, hope this finds you healthy, happy and productive.
Well, I’ve been poetically inspired by the amazing Fried Egg Paintings posted on Instagram by Daniel Halksworth. This is the painting which set me off on a poetic journey and I am grateful. I hope you are enjoy this and take a moment to check out his art and the story of the egg paintings by clicking on the photo.
Here’s your giggle for the day:
ODE TO A FRIED EGG
Oh, Sunny Side Up, I love you.!
Those bubbles, like hair surround
your golden face, sunlight smiling.
Perfectly placed, prepared with oil
by loving hands, carefully brushed
each egg unique – eulogised forever.
With or without salt, your peppered self
tantalises my taste-buds, makes me want
more of those creamy strokes on canvas.

G’day Col!
Can you believe he’s sold 605 Fried Egg paintings, mostly on commission and each one fried by his wife? Each painting never repeated, so absolutely unique! They’ve taken off all over the world.
He is unbelievably talented.
Stay well. 🙂

Hi Liz, yes, he’s so talented. I don’t know if I would have the fortifude to paint over 600 pictures of the same subject. I suppose it helps that each is a different egg, lovingly prepared by his wife. 🙂
Hope this finds you happy and well.
