Cephalothoracopagus Monosymmetros
Here is a miniature portrait of Dr. Thomas Dent Mütter done as a composite from two different sources, but since they were both portraits by other artists, it makes me feel this piece lacks a certain legitimacy. Fans of Dr.Mütter and his museum probably wouldn't care. I suppose it's a serviceable little likeness.
Finishing up our conjoined friends. What a neat specimen.

Love the portrait, but 'conjoined friends' is reeeeeeeeeeeally special. I find it disturbing and funny all at once.
Wonderful portrait of the good doctor. I'm sure he would appreciate your painting of the conjoined twins. Have you told us how old they were when they died? I'm assuming those bones are children's.
Incredible! Very, very lovely.
Your paintings are just wonderful, with so much details to see..
The portrait is wonderful. I'm left wondering what he's pondering. And I'm with Kass, do we know how long they lived?
love the conjoined friends painting ...you bring some beauty to them ... and the portrait ... wonderful!!! how tiny is it?
"serviceable little likeness" love that phrasing!
The conjoined piece is truly original in every sense--I can't say I've ever seen anything like it.
And your new profile pic is great--I love it!!
