Holding On
Original acrylic painting by Keith Hemsley
About the painting
A seated figure draws her knees close, creating a compact, almost sculptural silhouette against a vibrant background of fiery oranges and yellows. The warmth and energy of the surrounding colour contrast with the quiet, inward-looking pose.
Expressive textures and gentle variations in skin tone bring depth to this intimate study of the human form, suggesting both vulnerability and inner strength.
