My Surreal Life and My Wacky Art World

I decided last week to my first self portrait. I thought I could do just a regular portrait but that sounded boring to me, so I thought putting my image on a dress mannequin was more suitable to my personality and my wacky world. I love and live in the desert so that suited me also for this piece and is also a good back drop to Items and characters I used that were in previous paintings of mine like Crash my Dog, misfit potato head, My sock monkey doll,my stick figure to the back right, The Lemon Blimp, and my protecting baby series with the pears. I own an antique dress mannequin from 1910 so this just felt like my art world bringing everything together. The original is 30x24x1.5 oil and won't be for sale. I will add a link where prints will be available of this one and all my other work.

Surrealism And Lemon Drops

Hello all artist's and art lovers! Happy Valentine's Day! I went from my humorous mood in my work to my surrealistic mood this week and have a series of Lemon paintings I have been working on. This one is called "Lemon Drops" Surrealism is such an interesting genre and stretches the imagination. I was told once by one of my followers that there aren't many females that paint surrealism. I find that interesting and wonder why. Any input by anyone with that?
