Yellow Laces - 100x120cm oil on box canvas POA

“Yellow Laces” exudes a sense of effortless cool, confidence and quiet rebellion. A young woman lounges outside in a relaxed pose, with her well worn Dr Marten’s dominating the foreground. The black leather is worn, hinting at countless adventures, while the bold yellow laces create a striking contrast, drawing the eye immediately.

The perspective is intimate, slightly low-angled, emphasising the boots as a statement - rugged, unapologetic and full of character. Beyond them, the woman is in soft focus, perhaps lost in thought or is she waiting for someone? She wears something effortlessly casual, her style reflecting both defiance and ease.

The background is a soft blur of trees, maybe in a park. The brushstrokes are light are varied, sharp and detailed in the boots, soft and dreamy elsewhere - mirroring the contrast between toughness and serenity. The overall mood of this painting is cool but pensive, a moment that feels both fleeting and timeless.
