Oil on linen 29x50x2cm (11.4x19.7x0.8in) 2017, ready to hang. This painting comes from a picture that my brother took to his son Andrea. It shows him outside the doctor's studio just before entering. I appreciated much the timing of the picture because it shows perfectly the feelings of a young boy waiting for his visit. I made an oil on linen painting out of it, making some changes to the colours and adding a couple of elements to give a personal touch to the artwork.
