Barnard Castle Painting

I was inspired do this piece after watching Boris Johnsons face spread large across my television every single night of lockdown. His face became the image of Coronavirus for me. I chose to do Barnard Castle as the background as a subtle joke after the 'Cummings Gate Scandal'. I chose to use oil paint, with a semi realistic style to capture Bojo's expression and his recognisable features, in which I hid some more comedic aspects into his infamous hair.
