What we see sadly is a heartbreaking image of the little bear down and out, sat in a stairwell looking lonely and lost, desperate for his Aunt Lucy. How could this now be his existence after being surrounded by so much love, intrigue and comfort? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll good things have to come to an end don’t they? Is this self-inflicted or caused by another? You’ll notice his upturned hat that has caught the generosity and pity of strangers on hearing Paddington play a little tune on his trumpet, a gift from Uncle Pastuzo. Is he trying to collect money for Marmalade or simply for the postage for his letter to Aunt? There are subtle details surrounding his case that remind you that he is just a boy, scrawled letters that pour light onto his troubles and frustration. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lovely quality with this piece is that it is open-ended leaving you to decide on the reasons and also what is in that letter. As with my way of working there is always hope and in this case you can see this shining towards the little man from out of view, look a little harder and there is a subtle detail that might change things completely. My intention along with creating an authentic piece that fans of Paddington will love is to make you think, to consider who the person was and could \/ should be if given a helping hand towards recovery, one step at a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aim was to create a scene that was blissfully still and tranquil yet showing a much darker side to it through the canons firing and the detail within the foreground. It is a case of creating a truly open-ended piece because of details included and things happening out of shot that will hopefully fuel the imagination of the viewer as to what has happened to Captain Jack Sparrow. Has he met his fate? The skeletal hand that rises out of the water towards the necklace has his jewelled ring, a simple case of taking treasure or much worse, could Jack have turned? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Jack’s iconic quotes is ‘My Spirit Will Live On’ and I feel that it is perfect for this piece, as well as it visibly being a cool Pirate scene there is a deeper side for consideration - his silhouette forms part of the cliff looking out towards the ship and the sea, the spirit remains…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Limited Edition - Black Frame £395","offer_id":55970802663810,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Non-Embellished Limited Edition - White Frame £395","offer_id":55970802696578,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Limited Edition - Black Frame £475","offer_id":55970802729346,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Limited Edition - White Frame £475","offer_id":55970802762114,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Embellished Limited Edition - Custom Frame £725","offer_id":55970802794882,"sku":null,"price":725.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Limited Edition - Black Frame £795","offer_id":55970775499138,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Embellished Limited Edition - White Frame £795","offer_id":55970775531906,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Black Frame £1295","offer_id":55970802827650,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - White Frame £1295","offer_id":55970802860418,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hand Embellished Canvas Edition - Custom Frame £1695","offer_id":55970802893186,"sku":null,"price":1695.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9690\/0994\/files\/MJDPADIO.jpg?v=1763226088","url":"https:\/\/www.retrobyronniefineart.co.uk\/products\/a-letter-to-aunt-lucy-paddington","provider":"Retro by Ronnie Fine Art ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
