Release. Letting go. Throughout life, the concept of release is constant. We release our childhood to reach towards adolescence, let go of our youth to embrace adulthood. We release our children into the world when they are ready to fledge. These things are a rite of passage. More subliminal, and infinitely more difficult, is recognising that we can also release ourselves from the constraints that we inadvertently create. This painting represents the joy of letting go.

Release is a 1/1 jpeg of a digitally finished physical painting. The original is 45 x 60cm, hand painted on heavy cartridge.
