I'm not much of a red meat lover, but throw it in a beautiful ornate frame and I'm yours.
Los Angeles-based artist Victoria Reynolds creates strangely beautiful paintings of meat of every variety. From undulating waves of bovine musculature to delicately speckled pimento loaf slices, her ethereal oil-on-panel works are simultaneously mesmerizing and nauseating. Raised in Texas with a fine arts education pursued in both Nevada and Oklahoma, Reynolds stays true to her cattle-country roots with her selection of subjects.

Thank you, Pam..I think. Portraiture both ornate and slightly repellent always makes me pause for that extra moment, to wonder what thoughts are sifting through the artists minds as they create, and this art gives me an extra..'extra moment' (or two, even).. O_o ...

Glad you found it interesting!
Considering how oblivious Sarah Palin was to the turkey deaths behind her during an interview right after she pardoned a turkey, maybe she would have no opinion about this art.
