Merino wool and silk details. Wet and needle felted.

This portrait depicts a running woman with immediacy. The wet felting and needle felting techniques, and the different type of fibers used give this painting engaging textures and fluidity in moving lines and reflecting light, so that the subjecs seems to move across the background. It is a celebration of diversity and life in our urban neighborhoods, with a relaxing and fresh perspective. This medium sized piece (about 37x43 cm) will better show its organic, natural feeling if framed without cropping or hiding its irregular edges.

This portrait is part of "Ealing people" series by the author.
