Blind Date

Description

This is ‘Blind Date.’ Acrylic on canvas and, for me, something of an unexpected work. I found reference to these female figurines, they’re available in the US, very expensive and highly collectable. I thought they’d be almost life-like representations of real people. And then I saw the whole picture. Changed wardrobes, expressions, found the male character (does anyone remember Action Man?) and finally the fair-ground setting. And the result – well shame about the rain but at least he’s brought roses – after all it’s a Blind Date.
