The Art of Patrick Douglass Cox

Some of you may recognize the archaeologist depicted in this painting. I think we can all agree that MP has embiggened our culture with her cromulent archaeology modeling. The piece is called "The Archaeologist", (2008, egg tempera, 21x29in, $15,800). It is available through the Masters Gallery Ltd in Calgary, which specializes in historic and contemporary Canadian art. More of Patrick Douglass Cox's work can be seen on his website here (the interesting writeup about him/his family's history on the Masters Gallery site comes from his biography page).

Increase your wordiness:
Tempera (aka. egg tempera) refers to a type of paint (or paintings done using this type of paint) made from coloured pigment mixed with egg yolk (or maybe some other glutinous water soluble binder like glue, which is used to make the tempera called poster paint). Egg tempera is very resilient and was a primary method of painting until the 15thC, when oil paints were invented.
