New painting started and finished all in one day yesterday. The idea popped up a couple weeks ago and has been living inside me aching to get out. I think it’s the beginning of a new series, and I’m a little hesitant to throw it out to the world immediately. Almost as if it will jinx it somehow. Here’s a small sneak peak though of only part of it:
Detail of Phantom Heart 1, Watercolor on Paper, 2011
Comes from the idea of phantom limb syndrome, except for organs instead. I have visions of phantom ears and phantom livers floating around inside my brain; it’ll be interesting to see where it takes me. Oooh, a phantom brain would be freakydeaky amazing…
I also brought more food inspiration home from work the other day:
Yammmmm (or sweet potato?)
Would it be possible to paint a heart that looks like a yam? Or a yam that looks like a heart? The really long tip on the end reminds me of a blood vessel.
Placemaking block parties are going well so far; for more news about that and pictures come on over to my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/robynhendrixart and also check out the Hamline Midway Coalition’s Friendly Streets Page for block party dates & locations!
Plus we have our next feminist art chat on Open Field this Wednesday evening coordinated by yours truly, and hosted by WARM, more details here.
Okay, off I go to do a google image search on brains. Mmmm brains.
