Eye see you Print

This work is part of my 'Emotions' series which is inspired by the feeling that get evoked when you look at an expressive photograph. How we connect at some level with the subject of the level and think of the latest moment that we ourselves were experiencing something that would have evoked similar response. I had a moment of contemplation where I missed the opportunity to go out and 'live' due to restrictions, and so this is me trying to live vicariously through art. I choose to paint loosely even though every now I then I feel the subject I am painting guides the boldness or subtlety of the brush strokes. I work with acrylics, which are traditionally not suitable for portraits as they dry too fast, but I like the rush I feel to set out the work on the emotion I am feeling at the moment.
