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.

Lemon Head My New Love!

I think I fell in love this evening! Shhhh Don't tell my husband! Lemon Head it has a flavor of Magritte, here's a unique thing I found out AFTER I posted the painting tonight, that the creator of lemon heads candy passed away this week at 93. I had no clue! which makes me think I channeled it or something. Still on my lemon surrealism. stay tuned for the next one!
