This is my large painting on canvas which I have nearly finished. The background is built up of a multitude of layered colours in busy brushstrokes, going in every direction. The layers of colour are blues, yellows, mauve, fluorescent pinks and back to light greens on top. The figures are painted on using black outlines in a thin brush. The figures are going about their day oblivious to whats happening around them. There are four standing figures crossed arm looking out to the viewer, I have painted them in an aggressive stance. They are deliberately one woman and three men. The pose I chose suggest to me, ” You are not welcome and not invited”. The figures are more of a block rather than loose and free flowing like those in my Malaysian painting. This shows more my feeling about being anxious amongst the crowds in London.
