Artwork Description

Tommy Shelby by Wendy Sherwell refers to the lead character in a TV show, Peaky Blinders. A fantastic series which left a big impression on me. This painting depicts Tommy Shelby walking through the Liverpool docks on a misty, smokey morning going about his business. He is head of the gang called Peaky Blinders, so called due to having razor blades embedded in the rim of their caps and sewn into the lapels of their jackets.

This painting endeavours to recreate the violence, poverty and atmosphere of the 1930s in the North of England.

Artist Bio

Wendy Sherwell has always loved art and started painting seriously about 20 years ago and has made a concerted effort to hone her skills. She loves painting bright colourful abstract art and her main inspiration came originally from the Blue Rider Group and the fauvism painters. Wendy is now branching out into abstracted landscape paintings and experimenting with large palette knives to create emotive individual original paintings. She is a very eclectic artist and is inspired by many things in the natural world. From time to time you will see some surrealistic art and there is a wide variety of styles in her portfolio. Experimentation with artistic ideas is what keeps her art alive and energetic!

Thanks for looking and I sincerely hope you like some. I do not enter competitions so you will see no prizes. Art for me is not competitive.
