No. 4 'Make a wish' Original Soft Pastel Painting

£1,100.00

Framed and glazed with museum grade anti-reflection glass. Soft pastel on cotton Italian paper.

“No.4 Make a wish carries a high sense of grief, but within each of the rays is a token of hope that all of us carry. That potential is emerging, despite it all. Each of the rays carries a story of their own, amongst peers. Each has its potential in the form of a star and all expressing themselves very differently, in the same space. The reds scarring downward in the wake of the swim deliver how each of them express fundamentally, and how those expressions might affect others. I was thinking a great deal about those closest to us, and the repetition of family stories / cycles. The stage at which we deliver ourselves from them, essentially.

I feel the colours successfully captured that underwater mixture of superb dark green and yellow-green plant life in bodies of water I’ve visited (and starred at), around the UK. The mixture of serenity overcoming the overwhelm is apparent - which makes me very happy in imagining the end of thier story. ”
