These are inspiring to me as I have been painting bathers for a while. So charming!

Kusama and Cornell
Yayoi Kusama with Cornell 1970
(he looks a little like he's choking her, but she looks happy)
Yayoi Kusama Age 10 1939
Blouin Artinfo has more photos of Kusama (that's where I got these).
Link to my recent boingboing essay on the book about Joseph Cornell, Utopia Parkway.
Kusama and her relationship with Cornell is mentioned in the book.
The photo (above) was taken in 1970, he died in 1972.

What am I up to?
Here are some details of a larger oil painting that I am working on.
These are just some quicky ipod glimpses of the unfinished work.
The temporary title is "Fig Leaf Parasol".

Painting of the day by Ilya Repin
I like this painting by Ilya Repin called "Dragon-fly". It is a portrait of the artist's daughter, Vera Repina (1884, oil on canvas). More about Repin here. He was born on August 5, 1844, so it's his birthday today. He was a great Russian realist painter.
