Acrylic Paint on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

On a day trip to the beautiful Kiama, I snapped a couple of pics from the car. I used one of them as a reference for this painting. It was a lovely sunny day, so there were plenty of people about but I chose to remove the others to keep the focus on this couple. There are so many questions about this pair and I wanted to create a piece that whilst simple at a glance, led the viewer to question what is actually happening here. Is this a couple who has been together so long they are completely at ease with one another? No need to hold hands, they simply need to get somewhere. Or is there a dark undercurrent? Perhaps an earlier argument that has led to some tension they are both trying to ignore? Is it an awkward first date?
People and relationships are complicated and I hope I've captured this whilst still creating a piece that is bright, fun, modern and what can hopefully be a talking point in someone's home!
