Tolerating February Seaside
Izzy, Age 17
This painting is a self-portrait from a trip to Hunstanton beach in February. It was bitterly cold and I remember loathing every second, the wind battering my face. My artwork captures my momentary disgruntlement and immortalises it, a humorous reminder that feelings are only fleeting. I look at this painting, this version of myself, with fondness, nostalgia, and considerable empathy for tolerating the British coast.
