Long Wave Goodbye (HMS Defender D36)- Hotwalls,Portsmouth - Original

Inspiration

This depicts HMS Defender leaving port and their families waving goodbye.

The painting is set in Portsmouth Harbour, with the Round Tower in the foreground. The ship is leaving port, and families are standing on the tower, waving goodbye.  The families are sad to see them go, but they are also proud of them for serving their country.

The painting is representative of  the cycle of life. They are leaving home to serve their country, and their families are waving goodbye. The painting suggests that the families  will be reunited when they return, and that the cycle of life will continue.

The painting is a beautiful and moving depiction of the themes of circles, cylinders, and the cycle of life. It is a reminder that life is a journey, and that we are all connected.

This was created as part of the final Hotwalls Artists group exhibition held at The Round Tower .
