Just hold on

The #cantfly series of watercolour paintings was inspired after a long admission in hospital, and the challenges faced after discharge.  Each depicts a challenge to re-engage with society, and the fears within that – although you have wings – you will forever be tethered to the ground.

“Just hold on” is a different perspective than some of the other series, showing the wings above the character, and the character holding on (or is she climbing up?). I love the colours in this painting, and the message behind – that in times of trouble you just need to cling on to something to ride out the storm.
