About This Project

This was specifically executed for a ‘Small Scale’ art competition. No canvas with a width or depth, greater than 61 cms or 24 inches in old money!

I suppose you’d call it a ‘still life’ and, if so, it’s the second one I’ve painted and is similar in feel to the first.

I’ve featured the little character in the yellow shirt and blue pants in other work. He’s an American, plastic figurine who wears the expression of somebody who has just been told a not entirely unexpected truth.

Hence the title of the work.
