A Heart and a Yam

July 24, 2011 By Administrator

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.
