Rone's  pensive  woman was painted between lockdown in 2020. She sits on the back wall of the Kilburn Hotel in Hawthorn and is at her best with a typical wintry grey sky.
 
Rone says the image staring back at us appears as though it has been sculpted from the building. This is achieved using a practice of glazing with many layers of paint and then finally a series of washes designed to build up texture. 

The final result a gaze of pensive permanence as she looks into the future. Something a little different for Rone as a lot of his work is designed with a limited lifetime. There is a hope that this mural will endure. Rich with themes we have come to adore, the study of beauty, decay and vulnerability.
