One of my all-time favorite artists is Kelly Reemtsen. She so aptly captures the desperation of the ladies who lunch -- especially when they get a bee under their bonnet about something.
Take this painting, called "Flower Power." The way this wifey in the retro shift holds her hedge clippers implies self-emmolation. And yet, her cocked knee implies a dark streak for dangerous flirtation. Perhaps she's saying, "Approach at your own risk."
Truly a thorny situation.
Ms. Reemtsen's paintings can be found in the Skidmore ContemporaryArt (Los Angeles) and the David Klein Gallery (Birmingham, MI). If you're close by, they are worth the visit.
