Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

Families are a mixed bag. This painting is inspired by my own lot - so many colourful members, with one particularly large red bird guarding her eggs. Everything is symbolic and imaginative and is full of mixed feelings too. The tree that connects us all grows out of the universe.. Much is said and unsaid, and perhaps not everything needs to be explained.

The painting is sold unframed and can be hung as it is. There is a photo in the styled shots showing what it might look like in a simple wooden frame. The edges are white, and if you think they look a tad painterly, don't worry, I'll clean them up before it leaves my studio!
