NEW WORK
I have just finished this new painting:
It depicts a man suffering from Agoraphobia or fear of open spaces
I do not suffer from this debilitating condition myself but there are a surprisingly large number on this planet who do
Detail
Acrylic paint and gold emulsion on canvas 80 x 100 cm
This picture is dedicated to them!
MIKE HEALEY
FOOTNOTE
For those of you interested in such matters, I should add that this canvas weighs a ton - not least because it has on its surface no less than five other (failed) paintings!
One plus in using a much overpainted canvas is that the surface becomes very rough, thereby giving the walls in the painting above a wonderful 'rough plaster' effect!
