About this painting
A quick idea painted for The Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. It was composed on Father's Day while listening to Beethoven's 7th Symphony. The initial feeling was of overwhelming drama, guilt and anguish, and thoughts of my father and Beethoven's. The four lines are a visual reference to Beethoven's 5th symphony, and the theme of four iterates throughout this painting like the notes do in the music.
