‘The Chore of The Crowds’

This is my digital painting of a woman I saw on top of Rainbow Valley in Peru earlier this year.

This quality print is on heavy weight, 300gsm paper, A3 size.

Story Behind The Artwork

It was another work day for the Peruvian local on top of rainbow mountain. Draped in the brightest of colours, with her decorated lama parked closed by, poised for all the onslaught of selfies from the oncoming crowds from around the world. The tourists would expect to meet a wide grin and welcoming eyes, but today her face told a different story.
Today she just wasn’t feeling it, not up for having another selfie stick shoved in her face, not up for the lack of consideration from many of the gormless holidayers, or having her animal companion obsessed over through the lens of a smart phone instead of from direct human sight. She just sat there staring off into the landscape, and couldn’t care less.
It was then she realised, the crowds were becoming a chore, and one she wanted to participate in no more. 💫
