How often can the same artist's work take your breath away? Joyce Pensato does it for me every time. Yesterday the scene was Sarah Bowen's current show, "Medium Rare: Works on Paper." See Barry's post for our favorite image, but I'm including here a couple of details from various pieces to help document her genius.
