In this painting I was looking into regret. The immediate feeling one gets when faced with a problem that you created. You are lost, you have no control anymore over the events that have unfolded, and with a mental health problem, this emotion is expanded, ten-fold.
We are fragile creatures, deep down. We all have our limits. We all struggle with our demons.
This painting is 4ft x 4ft, oils on canvas and was worked on with a limited pallet of Titanium white, Payne’s grey and Ivory Black. The original still is taken from the motion picture, The Quiet Man.
