The Eyes of the Tea Holder
Description
Inspired by imagery by Savannah Kate Photography. Oil painting.
"The Eyes of the Tea Holder" is a play on the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", because not only does she have big eyes and hold a tea cup, to me, this painting is about the role of a woman in society, and society's standards for beauty.
She's a carved-out doll, sitting pretty, with a painted-on smile.
This was a raw, erratic piece.
I would love to hear other thoughts and interpretations.

Definitely, this painting makes me think about the concept of beauty. We are so manipulated by the mass media.
