ORIGINAL PAINTING- PASS ME THE TIN

This is a painting steeped in childhood nostalgia about my Dad’s garage with it’s random collection of old tins and jars full of all kinds or rusty nails, screws and rawl plugs of all sizes. But it is also a celebration of the fact that I now have my own tin of random stuff - the vital first aid kit that keeps our home ticking over. It is the gratitude I have to be blessed with a safe and warm roof over my head, symbolised by a load of mismatched screws and nails - and some bits that I don't even know what they are!

 

Shelf need putting up? Cupboard handle come loose? Dodgy Christmas decorations need securing?

 

Pass me the tin… 😁

 

This is the original painting - and it is possibly the most detailed and challenging painting I have ever done! It is painted with acrylic paint on a round MDF board measuring 30cm in diameter and it is varnished and ready to hang.
