More Than Just Meat is buttery yellow and is covered with bright, colorful paintings of food, mainly fruit and veggies, but with a few things like teapots, coffee cups, and dessert thrown in. She is up to her knees in grass, and is dotted with that most relaxing of natural medicines, chamomile flowers. This piece is painted in the loose, impressionistic, and colorful style that is the hallmark of Ms. Dempseys artwork.
The artists inspiration for the cow? Kansas City is, of course, well known for a few things, including and meat in general, and barbecue specifically. Though we do have quite a love affair with it here, I wanted folks to remember that theres more to us than just meat.
