A pocket full of dreams Painting

With consumerism at the forefront of western society as a purpose to live, living to work, to earn, to consume, is all a major part of our lives. I find myself drawn to expressing an alternative view through my art. Although some see painting as being based on traditional values as a limitation to address contemporary issues, I believe that it offers me the challenge of finding new meaning, creating new insight and capturing people's imagination in a unique way. Another reason why I paint is when I am painting l would never get a chance to see what it would be like if l did something else because I can not undo the last mark. The process of painting is addictive. I’m always hoping for improvement and possibly perfection, but always realising that it is unattainable. The question nearly always arises; do I risk spoiling it or do I start a new painting? I am a risk taker and painting suits my way of working and what I want to communicate. I think this is why Francis Bacon destroyed so much of his work, he liked risk. This painting titled 'A pocket full of dreams' is intended for us to just for a moment to stop and think. By reviewing the influences we allow in our minds our bodies, and clothes we wear all creates the consuming lifestyles we choose.
