'The Nightmare' is an original creepy and scary horror oil painting that became one in a series of nightmarish contemporary artworks. Completed in Watford, it features a surrealist and horrific figure that came into my imagination and had to be painted. Truly a unique and one of kind oil painting and would make a great gift for lovers of horror, surrealism and the macabre.

This painting is new, in that it is an original unsold work of art, but being an original painting there is obviously no original packaging etc.

All my paintings are original works and come with a certificate of authenticity. My early works often had edges that were unpainted and the techniques I used left areas of the canvas open.

Please note that my early works were stored at my studio and some may have scuff marks here and there. I try to photograph obvious marks but please zoom in on the photos to get a closer look at the work. Also, please check the photo of the back of the painting as unless stated there may or may not be hanging chords or hooks attached. As always, please feel free to contact me with any queries - John.
