Bone Of Contention by California artist Brenda York

12x30" oil on canvas 

The brilliant lunacy of two misfits.

This is my favorite painting from the "Long Story Short" exhibit. Not sure why but I have a suspicion that it has something to do with that pink sky. That and the two bullheaded characters.
Speaking of "Long Story Short" here's something cool: Smith magazine's website wrote a little blurb about my exhibit! They are the originators of the Six-Word Memoir and edited the book of the same name. Apparently they keep an eye out for projects inspired by the Six-Word Memoir. If you haven't tried to write one yet you should give it a shot--it's pretty addicting. Leave your memoir in the comments and who knows, it may end up as a painting one day! The line in red above is the six-word memoir (actually just a chapter from my memoir) that goes along with the painting. Enjoy!
