The Guardian Painting

Fly tipping, the unlawful depositing of waste on private land, is an environmental problem as well as a personal gripe for landowners. The reference image for this painting was posted by a Twitter friend, and I received permission to make a painting from it. At the time, I was working on a series of paintings of styrene mannequin heads, and in this case I set it on one of the upturned chairs, as to imply a proprietary relationship with the discarded furniture. Behind the bare fall trees, hot air balloons glide across the sky, seeming to catch the attention of the mannequin head. The colours in this painting range from the autumnal golds and yellows of the fallen leaves to the mossy greens of the dry stone wall, to the brilliant cobalt blue of the distant hills and hot air balloons. The atmosphere is damp and cool and quiet. The painting extends over the sides of the canvas so that it may be hung as-is by the hanger on the back, but it may also be framed.
