This 18 inch by 16 inch acrylic painting is done on a masonite canvas panel. The background consists of a kitchen backsplash and counter. The backsplash is a beige while the counter is a dark forest green. The main focal point of the painting is a hand extinguishing their unfinished cigarette out in the yolk of an uneaten fried egg. The egg sits on a shinny blue plate and has bits of ash laying on the white and yolk. The hand shows both age and youth creating an unknown sense of the age of the person. Their nails are painted a shinny dark red and the hand and arm are adorned with expensive gold jewelry. The cigarette connects the hand to the egg creating a sense of movement and adding more detail to the painting. The tip of the cigarette has a pink tint to it due to the lipstick that the person smoking it has been wearing on their lips. This painting has a theme of paralleling expectations based off appearance with the reality of actions.*
