It’s Cold Outside

It’s cold outside

Even now, in a first world country

In the 21st century

Families are losing their homes and being forced to live on the streets

This painting is my reflection on how close to homelessness someone close to me came in this past year

Only through support from voluntary agencies did they manage to keep a roof over their families head.

It is a sad reflection on our government and our society that families cannot gain secure housing in this day and age!

Proceeds from the sale of this painting will go directly to support a particular family that have only recently found themselves in secure accommodation following their previous home being repossessed from their landlord by the banks and sold on to a vulture fund who chose to evict them.

If you look closely at the image you might notice two very small while butterflies on the base of the pillar on the lower left these symbolise my hope for the future of our society, and for a world where everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.
