| Ceiling finish and border original color design in egg tempera The Ocean Club Key Biscayne, Florida |
The use of EGG TEMPERA, a very old painting technique using the egg
yolk as medium, enhanced the FAUX FINISH of this recessed ceiling . I
also designed the "Greek Isles" border festoon around the ceiling. This design
was not copied using a stencil but rather entirely hand-painted. The
luminous, satin-like quality of the blue egg tempera far outshines anything
like this in acrylic or lime-based paint.

EGG TEMPERA was also
used to create the illusion of a
sky at dawn inside a similarly
recessed but oval ceiling area in
the foyer of the same Ocean
Club condominium in Key
Biscayne, Florida.
Using the stylized flower
pattern in the marble floor, I
painted what looks like an
ornamental glass border around
the opening to the morning sky.
