Looking After The Pennies

Fine Art Belfast Print

This study is a memory from St. George’s Market many years ago, before it became popular with tourists.

 

There’s justhint of the building’s unique windows in the background. The viewer’s eye goes directly to the woman’s elderly face.

 

Her focus is on her open purse. We look down past her overcoat towards her fingers that fumble with change.

 

Her other hand grasps a handbag and white plastic carrier bag.

The story behind...

Looking After The Pennies

We can all identify with this wee woman. Her face is full of her history. An amalgamation of everything that life has thrown at her (good and bad).

I believe that it’s a beautiful face.

Why is she ‘looking after the pennies’? Is she trying to stretch out the pension? 

I sense that she’s not one to put herself first as her overcoat is very worn looking. Is she trying to have enough left over to buy the grandchildren gifts?

What kind of life did she lead? Has it always been tough making ends meet?

Maybe today she can allow herself a small treat.
