βThe Sunburnt Fisherman is a stream of consciousness painting executed straight onto oil paper with no preplanning or sketching.
In this painting a sunburnt fisherman gazes out with tired eyes. His skin matches the red sky alluding to the idea that he is one with this harsh environment. His headwear is somewhere between a cap and a Crown adorned with a gold cross. On the horizon of green sea there is a boat with two fishermen. One reaches down into the water, their arm becoming one with the boat and the ocean.
The fisherman is burnt and tired, and yet with his upright posture, forward gaze and crown he also looks noble and authoritative. This piece is about a respect for and connection to ones work and a curiosity for the lives others might inhabit.β - Cynthia Howard
