Muse

This painting has been rattling around in my head for months. Months. Before Evelyn Evelyn released an album. Before I went to the concert in May. I knew exactly what I wanted to paint - an image as haunting as the album and its concept. My daughter and her big brown eyes would be a perfect stand-in for the conjoined twins at the story's core. I bought and embellished a tiny hat. I convinced my daughter to pose for me. (She never needs much convincing, really.) I painted it in my head a hundred times. And this week, I stayed up late - and painted it for real.
