I can’t figure out my obsession with mannequins. I don’t know what it is. I can’t decide if I like them or I’m scared of them. There is just something about those strange sedentary creatures that draw me in. The top image is in watercolor and my most recent. The second one I did a while ago and is done in oils. The bottom one, also an oil painting, is about 5 feet long and hangs above my desk. It welcomes me to work every day. I love the morbid human-like mannequins mixed with the image of the dove, who as a symbol of peace, can’t wait to get the hell out of there.
