The Heart is a Multi-Chambered Organism, or, The Origin of Species

Hard to photograph these in terms of making them look accurate inre red vs. orange tint. These are a bit more red (less orange) in person.

When you can't decide between two titles for a painting, you use both. Or at least that's what I do.

This is a 3-panel oil + cold wax work, which at some point I will bolt together permanently. This is my first multi-panel work; I love how Rebecca Crowell works this way. (She also has the most amazing wall to hang her panels on and play with the arrangements of them--go look at her video and be highly jealous of that space.)

The three parts are shown below in the order and orientation in which they will appear, and then at the end I have a photo showing how they'll look all together. They're recently completed, so I have not yet removed the blue protective tape on the sides; they have natural wood sides.

The first panel is 12" x 9", second is 12" x 16", and third is same as the first (12" x 9"). Assembled, therefore, the work is 12" horizontal x 34" vertical.

I just don't understand how it can be comfortable to sleep like this...
