If I Grow Up I Wanna Be? is the title of this piece.
Apologies for the poor quality of the photo. It was a proper B to get a half decent shot.
If I Grow Up?, acrylic on canvas, framed and rather large at 79cm x 79cm.
This one has been floating around in the back of my head for some time. With the current world situation where it appears to me that we humans are doing our best to just exterminate other human beings. It is just crazy, so many wars, so many unnecessary deaths.
I have strong opinions of what might become of the young victims of these confrontations. Their futures, their mental state and their desires. After witnessing cruel atrocity after cruel atrocity, families ripped and torn apart, communities destroyed and all before their young eyes.
Just imagine if our kids and grandkids were witnessing this brutality on a daily basis.
Unfortunately I believe revenge might be locked in as one of the long term goals. We will be reading and hearing about revenge incidents for decades to come.
Re this painting, I am well ahead of schedule and with this one I hope to have it included in the early October 2025 Members Exhibition.
The members exhibition kicks off straight after the Creative Generations.
If you have not visited the Local Emu Park Gallery and Gift Shop then I highly recommend that you do so. Admission is FREE and the Gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 4pm
There is a great Gift Shop there too, stocked with great works from local artists.
