Looking at my father and his father I ask the question what is my legacy what will I become, what will be left beside my skeleton will it be a paint brush or will it be something else, will I go into business. This is part one of a tryptic of three self portraits, i painted a skull because in a 100 years thats all that will left the numbers are the exact number of days i was alive when i finished the painting.
Part two of the tryptic of skulls from my solo show “Heavy is the head that wears the crown” that was on show in The Dean Dublin.
This painting is about no matter how difficult or out of reach your goal are they are achievable , if your goal is to be a baker a painter or even to fly a rocket into space i believe in you and know you can do it.
In a quest to make a painting about “the soul “ i could not for the life of me spell the word “soul”, i then decided to make a painting to remind me how the word is spelt.
a shot of the fantastic space in The Dean Dublin.
“The only difference between monopoly money and money is the word monopoly”. Why is there so much weight put on money, in this painting i ask myself what would happen if it just disappeared.
Measure your worth. Always have pride in yourself everyone else is already taken, stand up tall because you are a king.
Do not let yourself in the way of your goals.
Nurture your ego use it feed the fire rather then let it burn.
A painting about the importance of television and how in my life time there has been a shift in media.
