“You’re not bar hopping again Edward?” Mixed Media

Postage Stamp Image
This is the third of a series of canvases depicting Pop Art ladies with retro telephones calling famous artists. Some are humorous; some make a statement concerning the environment or cultural and diverse subjects. American born Edward Hopper’s career began as an illustrator but developed as a painter were his impact was especially use of light. His works were varied but often scenes of his birth place, New York’s lesser known empty streets, cafe’s and bars at night illuminated with a strong light. Here the young lady enquires if her lover is reverting to his habit of drinking away from her as she once more seems to have been let down. The seed head of the flower losing its petals seems to symbolise the near end of the affair. In keeping with the other pictures in this series this canvas contains approximately 2500 postage stamps with the addition of acrylic paint to complete the picture.
