Mannequin

Okay, wow. I'm gonna be the first to say I don't know where this came from. One minute I was working on "Medieval Love" and the next I created this still life. This took about 4 hours total--a record time for me. I chose the title mannequin because it's figurative without having the figure involved. The copper rose and the mask are both echoes of living things. Like a mannequin, they are reference for something more, but in this painting, they take on their own meaning as something entirely different.
