Original artwork description:

Things are never what they seem and that can be said about people too, clearly Veronica has many hidden sides and has lived a full and exciting life but we don't have to be covered in tattoos and piercings to portray the type of person we are and it is often pleasantly surprising when you find out something new from someone you thought you had summed up.

This bold portrait has been painted on a 18 x 24 inch canvas using mixed media and sealed with satin varnish, she is unframed and ready to hang, the edges are painted black.

Secrets and Lies is a celebration of the mature woman, symbolizing strength, humour and courage. Veronica is my acknowledgement to maturity and sticks the middle finger up to the menopause and old people stereotypes.

Materials used:

acrylic paint, pastel, pencil, satin varnish
