Original artwork description:

Expressive painting highlighting the losses in care homes.
This latest art work (some thirty years on,) relates to the original painting: "The Waiting Room”, with its theme of isolation. In this painting the need for social isolation is represented by the empty chairs either side of the contemplative gentleman. The colours and forms are fading away, as is his reality in these strange and scary times, along with his diminishing social opportunities.


This painting highlights the collateral damages of the coronavirus particularly the losses in care homes.


Quotes from other artists:
