Suburbia

I've always felt unsettled when I find myself suburbia
It's a sinking feeling of being surrounded, as unseen eyes follow my every step.

A few weeks ago I found myself in the suburbs of Aldridge Walsall, walking down a road of detached six bedroom houses, when the aforementioned unsettling feeling set in.
I noticed that every other window had someone peering through net curtains, watching me walk through the precious neighborhood.
 
I found this far more disturbing than the cars whizzing by with teenage passengers screaming racial slurs.

As I got home I created this painting.

u know what mate when things are going wrong keep your head high because the minute you put your head down the next problem is gonna hit you in the head.

I hope you get well soon and that but stay strong dont slip feel me.
The painting feels like some real art the read makes me feel uncomfortable and the black makes the lady seem mysterious things like the white and silver seem to make me investigate your painting phew.....
