Acrylic on plywood
Fourth in the series, this one was much later after the first three. I came back to the same series and found a new image that I felt suited the background. By this point I'd also decided I would likely sell some of these if anyone wanted them, to pay for more paint/canvases. Funnily enough, this one sold very quickly. I did name the boy, and I'm fairly sure I told the person who bought it - However neither of us can remember what the name was, so the piece is officially untitled.
This painting is one of a series all painted on a set of identical plywood boards that were leftover samples from my then-workplace. Each was an attempt to focus on a specific part of the body and figure out how best to paint it. This was aiming to focus on clothes and another angle of the head. Though I'm well aware what most people focus on when seeing this painting.
This painting is in a private collection
