Inspiration & Story 

Going on Holiday is a heartfelt narrative of anticipation, separation, and warmth. The scene unfolds on a summer morning, bathed in the warm glow of sunrise. The central figure, viewed from behind, walks down a sunlit path, carrying two bags that hold cherished companions - a brown, and a gray rabbit with black and white markings. This imagery reflects the artist’s personal experience of leaving their beloved pets at a specialized hotel for rabbits while embarking on a journey.

The warm palette of reds, yellows, and oranges dominates the composition, chosen to evoke the early light of dawn and to contrast with the cooler tones present in the artist's other works. The vibrant colors suggest the energy and anticipation of travel, while also conveying the tender emotion of parting, even if only briefly.

The background features trees with branches that reach over the path, drenched in sunlight, adding depth and inviting the viewer into the journey. The texture created by the palette knife gives the piece a tactile, almost three-dimensional quality, allowing the viewer to feel the movement and emotion within the scene. At its core, Going on Holiday speaks to the balance between adventure and the longing for home, offering viewers a chance to reflect on their own journeys.
