Ron Francis - Hanging Man - peinture à l’huile -

This man is in a helpless situation.
He is vainly hanging on to a hole in the wall that he could never fit through.
His vulnerability is reflected in his nakedness.

The inspiration for this painting came from my wife and 3 year old son being overseas in Denmark for six weeks, and my insecurity getting the better of me.
