So upsetting that we, the 5th wealthiest country in the world has a growing problem with in work poverty and homelessness. Even food banks (which came about about in 2011 during “austerity”) are struggling. This is the consequence of 12 years of this particular bunch of Conservatives. I see this woman regularly on our local high street in #molesey and decided to paint a portrait of her. I’m too late this year but I’m aiming to donate this to a homeless charity; The #bigissue or #crisisathristmas. Either way it’s for a cause I feel strongly about as well as offering myself exposure as an artist who also paints portraits. #portraitart #portrait #portraitpainting #realpeople #oilpainting #oilincanvas #londonlife #moleseylife https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbMafBIE5X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
