3 Paintings

These 3 paintings provoke a reaction in me, for different reasons.

I think art is about the emotions it evokes in an individual, so I’m not here to wax lyrical about being moved, or challenged, or confused by what the artist was trying to say;

They are simply offered for your consideration, in the hope that they leave an impression on you, as they have on me.
