Oh my goodness Seamas you poor thing! That's a real bruiser, hope there were no lasting problems.

Ouch! You've have some lovely colours blooming there Seamas. Are you familiar with the artist Robert Lenkiewicz, he had the same fascination for painting troubled men and women, you may like his work, I find it intriguing. Hope they caught the perpetrator.

Haha don't worry no lasting problems. Just some paintings and drawings I can't get rid of haha. I didn't know this artist Fiona but I like wat I see so far 😀 Thanks!

Thought you might, there are elements in your work that remind me of his.

I feel rather unkind 'liking' this - you avoid getting mugged these days, I trust; but at least you got something out of the experience.

You've made a positive out of a pretty great full negative. Very powerful portrait.

Very traumatic experience I'm sure, Seamas but glad that it inspired you to find something positive out of it.

Thanks guys. At the time this work was like an exorcism to expell the bad spirits.

Glad something positive has come out of this. Excellent drawing though!?

I did this tiny drawing after being mugged in 2012. I sparked a whole series about violence and its aftermath, and I've enjoyed painting troubled men and women ever since.
