The subject for this painting is my uncle, Hugh Major. He is a huge source of inspiration and a mentor on my artistic journey.
He’s an accomplished author and surrealism-inspired artist, and the desire to include these aspects of him in this painting were quite compelling, but I felt that not showing these interests in his life revealed more of him as a person to the viewer.
The painting represents his interests, life and personality.
