I’ve just completed a new acrylic painting which titled ‘7 Day Notice'‘. It features an abandoned caravan I discovered whilst driving through Cannock Chase forest a few months ago. The council had stuck a penalty notice on the window and a couple of cones had been placed outside as if it was a serious crime scene. I found the view both amusing and melancholic; this would have once been an object of pleasure associated with holidays and now it lay abandoned by the edge of the forest looking quite out of place. I like views with a bit of mystery where we have to try and piece together what may have happened. In some ways it reminded me of an earlier painting, ‘Inside Out’ where an old sofa had been dumped outside a factory.
You can view an image of the new painting in the ‘Abandoned Spaces’ section of this website.
