‘Leah’
Acrylic on 10 x 12” stretched linen canvas.
I realised after watching ‘reactions to my body’ clips by the likes of @tova_leigh and @lvernon2000 that I have not been doing a good job representing big and beautiful women. How were all my paintings skinny? How did this happen? I have two girls and having grown up during the 90s ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’ era, what on earth was I doing?
We all know that strong and happy is better than hungry and angular but with the world pumping out mounjaro quicker than aid for famine, confusion is inevitable.
So today, I captured a still of the magnificent Leah Vernon reacting to people who body shamed her and I love it.
All originals send via Royal Mail special delivery.
