Artwork Description

The 1960s images of black and white photos underneath my reimagined painted portion were detracting from the vibrancy of the rest of this map. I've left a graphic behind him only partly covered because subliminally it reminded me of the shape of an angel's wing, and that fit in with my new composition rather well. Edges painted white but I'm happy to do them in orange if you ask. Lightly sprayed with varnish for protection. I'm clearing out the rest of my vintage maps and once they're gone, I'm not doing more in this theme. Follow me here if you're interested in new work. Thanks for looking.

Artist Statement
After painting as a full time artist for the past 15 years, I've decided to just leave some previous works available here as prints only. No originals. It is unfortunately no longer financially viable to try and sell original work on this site when my returns after two recent increases in commission from BT, increases in shipping, material costs etc mean my actual proceeds from a sale are quite small. Thanks to my collectors and followers these past years. I wish you all the very best.
