Hearts and Pomegranates

Definitions: 
The Heart - a hollow, pump-like organ for blood circulation, composed mainly of rhythmically contractile smooth muscle. 
The Pomegranate - a chambered, many-seeded, globular fruit, having a tough red rind skin. 

In my uselessness post summer, class, move to new house, I've started listening to Spiritus Me Moveat, whom I like to think is my own personal Muse. Images of hearts and pomegranates seem to continually appear in my mind. I love the realism of organs and anatomy, which is why I need to take more figure drawing classes. I also love the vibrancy of pomegranates and their rich color. 
They seem to go together in so many other ways as well. The stories of Hades and Persephone and then Apollo and Daphne and just Cupid in general seem to be the ones at the forefront of my mind. 

Let's see where this goes.
