Watercolours on acrylic board, 2009.
Artist's Comments-
I painted this during the autumn of 2009. My then-fiance had to return to the USA to complete his final quarter of university. I was really missing him and really wished I could have gone with him back to California. I was alone in England for over 3 months and entered into a really arty period. After losing interest in acrylic paints and began experimenting with watercolour pencils and watercolour paints. And this was one of the first things I painted. The background is based on a photograph I took of the ghost town Calico, whilst the image of myself is taken from a mix of several photographs. The image on the t-shirt is the California flag.
