NEW WORK


I have just finished this new painting:

Agoraphobia - Mike Healey

It depicts a man suffering from Agoraphobia or fear of open spaces

Detail

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!
