Red in the Studio

The cloudscapes today were....beyond description.  The air was cool and I passed people sitting on porches and curbs, kids getting a haircut outside.  It wasn't a study kind of day, it was a day to be in your eyes, not your head.  The perfect day to visit a lovely artist in her studio and see a tree slowly unfurl across the canvas.

Put your heart into it

Clearly, all those years of art are coming in handy in med school...

I love drawing, I love anatomy, this was perhaps the most fun study moment today.

I like remembering that our first good anatomists were artists - thank you for bothering to check out the real deal my friends Vesalius, Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

And, by the way, dear artists, thanks for reminding us that all that fabulous anatomy comes together in expressions and gestures.
