8. John Woodhouse - Desperate to Land (£300-500)

Oil on canvas 35 x 46 (13 ¾ x 18) wide bar.

Signed on bottom edge Desperate to land John Woodhouse 2019.

This is the last of the current series and is based on several photos

of crowded inflatables. Nobody is wearing a life jacket. Seeing land

is close some of the adults have stood up - a dangerous thing to do.

One child points, another gives a thumbs up. One young boy is so

impatient to reach the shore that he has jumped into the water and

started swimming.
