Real Women? Acrylic on canvas 2022. £420 Currently on show in Big Art Show Paisley
(At Dalkeith Palace with Visual Art Scotland) When I saw the source image for this painting online someone had commented “when women dressed like women” 🤔 I found it amazing that to be “like women” for them seemed to require a body shape sculpted by corsets and a uniform of impractical dresses - express yourself through choice of lace or gauze only ladies! It’s a beautiful image but the women melt into the background… to be a real woman, must we be defined by our clothes and let our individualism fade away?
