These oil paintings on Birch by New York based painter Tara McPherson carry her signature female with a heart shaped hole.
Above; ‘The Guilt Will Eat You Alive… If You Let It’ (top), ‘Hey We All Die Sometimes’ (bottom).
Tara has a great website including photo’s of tattoos of her art on various fans.
(and photos of Brazil including the barracao of Salgueiro escola de samba in Rio – Explode Coração…É lindo meu Salgueiro, Valeu Tara! – my favourite samba school. This was the first time I saw them at the Sambodromo – check out the anatomy at 7.20mins if you can be bothered!)
