From 2019, this is ‘The Edge’, oil on paper (sold). I had PTSD and was in a dark place. Thankfully I was able to access the help I needed to recover. #LesleyOldakerArt #Oldaker #OilPaintingOnPaper #ptsd #mentalhealth #PeoplePaintings #UrbanLandscapes #OilPaintingArt #OlderWork #SoldWork #AbstractFigures #FromTheArchives #FacelessFigures #AbstractFigurative #Emotive #AtmosphericArt #CrowdedSpaces #DarkFigures #TheEdge #ContemporaryPainter #BritishArtist #BritishFemaleArtist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpw6QeYI5BE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is 'Vortex 1', a fairly recent work that went off to Clifton Fine Art @cliftonfineart not too long ago. It's oil on canvas, 60x60cm.
What does it make you think about?
