A haunting image which could apply to much that’s happening in the world today and in the past. Well done.

Superb piece of artwork Jon, very thoughtful.

As Marjorie said, this powerful image could easily apply to today.

Oh my goodness - this makes you think. It has a Victorian feel, but it could just as easily be Gaza or Ukraine today, or the despair of homeless people in any British town.

Thank you for you encouraging comments. The content was deliberately constructed without ethnic or regional influence to show this issue is timeless and affects all people, not just in a particular region or event.

Beautifully painted, one can feel despair in the eyes!

Packs a punch Jon, very good figure work and I really like the colour palette

Superb work catching the demeanour and sullen looks of hopelessness

Such strong characterful portraits with so much pathos here Jon.

Lovely work. Impressive. Like the colors, brushwork.

Thank you for all the lovely comments

An emotional piece - it really draws me in.
