Erazed Work

Interests

This is a series of paintings that I did most over the winter of 2011. I just felt like doing something a bit different. The oils were hung in Cleo's, The Helen Joyce Gallery in Kenmare, and I got some great feedback on them. Prints of some of these are now available, please see below each for link Many of them I have painted over, as I felt I had made my statement

Waiting

 

'Waiting'

If he didn't show up soon she knew she'd have to go back on the cold wet pavement to make ends meet

A dangerous place to wait

Alley girls

'Alley Girls'

Taking a break

'Having a break'

 

Docks

'Which Side?'

The only interest to the girls was which side the ship would dock

The oils below I have painted over, so they are here for posterity sake

Bar girl 2

'Bar Girl 2'

I got the detail behind the bar better in this one, but painted over it when I needed a canvas for something else

 

Saviour

'Saviour'

The idea for this one was the 'tart with a heart' story, she is selling herself to keep the tramp fed and because he is stuck in his ways she will keep looking after him as an excuse to keep whoring

 

The Alley

'The Alley'

She is seeking refuge in the alley while she thinks things over

 

Working late

'Working Late'

The lone whore out in a dangerous murky world, having to wait somewhere the police don't find her but her customers do. So she chooses a spot near the docks
