This painting is another thats part of a collection that explores the juxtaposition of fear and freedom....and embracing change, honesty and new beginnings.

Carrying on with theme of Freedom and Fear I always had ‘fear’ of drawing and since I started painting once again in 2015 I always said I couldn’t draw. This painting, one of many to come, is me challenging that fear and putting down a figurative image onto canvas.

My titles are generally quite significant to whats happening in my life at the time or experiences I’ve had that are still fresh in my memory and my every day journey to try and process them. A lot of my work, I suppose, symbolises turning something good from the bad. ‘CHEEKY TOO’ symbolises this. Thats how I was feeling when I painted this. It was fun to create.

I have used metallic gold spray paint over various layers and textures of red and white acrylics and finished off with graffiti style gold acrylic.
