Trigger warning for violence. This painting by Jack Greenwood shows Jack's dad on a couch with a naked man on top of him who is cutting his throat. Based on real events, he survived. You can read the story behind this and the rest of Jack's Strange and Sometimes Troubled Memories series on his website. A documentary interview film is also on YouTube, just search Strange and Sometimes Troubled Memories Film. They are on an old green sofa. The carpet is dark red. A table in front of the couch is littered with alcohol and ashtrays. In the background Jack's dad's girlfriend is passed out drunk in bed dreaming of her child. The Picasso painting, 'Weeping Woman is on the wall. A chair with a briefcase on and a wooden bat are next to the door. Coats are hung at the other side of the door and there is a traffic cone and a street sign for Lumb Lane. A kitchen area is to the right with a 'Head' bag on a stove.
I've had a lot to do today so didn't get any painting done.
Here's a rather dark one from my 'Strange and Sometimes Troubled Memories' series.
