• Image of 'Pink Mist'

'Pink Mist' is one of four paintings created to show my time in ‘The Two Worlds of Charlie F’. The term 'pink mist' is mentioned in the play and refers to a soldier’s candid description of what happens when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explodes upon a body. The three men in the painting appeared in the promotional banner for the play. The sky depicts the potential violence that can be inflicted on any of our soldiers from an IED at any time, once they are outside the safety of a camp or Forward Operating Base. The landscape is taken from a photo of mountains in Sangin, Afghanistan.

The original oil on canvas was sold whilst on tour with the play.
