Trying To Fly

This series of watercolour paintings was inspired after a long admission in hospital, and the challenges faced after discharge.  Each depicts a challenge to re-engage with society, and the fears within that – although you have wings – you will forever be tethered to the ground.

“Trying to fly” is another optimistic painting, depicting strength of character and a fearlessness that I’m not sure I personally had when I painted this. It is uplifting in more ways than one.
