Original artwork description:

"James Earley is one of the most important artists in the world today" International Contemporary Art Curator Magazine 2019

I met Harvey and Lauren in 2019. They were sat outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square London. I got to know them both and learnt their story as to how they had ended up homeless.
I got the impression that they were clinging on to the only thing that they had left which was hope and they were waiting for something to happen maybe an escape from the tough and traumatic world that they were enduring.
What really hit me as I spoke to them both was who was going to come and help them?

I wanted to paint "Waiting For The GingerBread Man" in a realism style using oil paints on canvas. I wanted to create a documentary of the consequences of poverty.
I primed the canvas in red paint and started building the layers of the oil painting initially using large brushes and gradually decreasing the size of the brushes until I used single hair brushes for the smallest of detail.
