This small emotional painting is about being locked in due to the epidemic and being told to keep social distancing.It's a bout fear unease and peering into the future. It's a talking point which captures a point in life full of emotional and in somcases loss. The painting is colourful and textured, thick paint has a unique dimensional quality. Painted on artist stretched canvas is unframed. Can be leaned on a shelf or stuck to the w, unframed for effect.Abstract shapes and pattern of colour.
The figure is painted in large single bold strokes with bright colours emphasized painterly qualities and strong shapes over the representational or realistic values retained by observation. Very little colour mixing is done, and pure tube colours are premixed, but are mixed on the canvas with every stroke producing the colour the Artist requires with a single stoke learnt over many years of mixing and painting.
