The Gort stood still by

Acrylic on canvas

I was watching one of favourite movies the other day, “The day the earth stood still”, whilst supping on a cheeky Shiraz and felt compelled to paint Gort. It’s a bit rough, but so was I at the time of painting…

    I remember seeing this film for the first time. Scared to stuffin out of me but I couldn’t look away. It was fantastic. Been a fan of sci fi ever since. This is fab study. I love this and all your work.

    Thanks!
