PRIVATE COLLECTION
There is some pathos associated with this artwork.
It was inspired by the loss to us of a young man in his 20's who turned heads wherever he went not only for his natural good looks but his unpretentious, simple, honest, genuine open nature.
He left this planet long before his time.
The finished painting shows him walking alone along an empty Bondi Beach following a storm.
Actual flotsam and jetsam collected from this beach has become recycled in the landscape of Bondi in the artwork.
There are metaphors that can be drawn from this canvas.
The painting makes me wonder what sort of a legacy we are leaving for the young people who are following us? - Neville ☺︎
