Inflated Expectations is a pastel painting depicting a collection of new (vintage style) leather footballs and rugby balls from Wembley and Twickenham. The work was inspired by a striking basket of beautifully aged balls at the Chukka & Punch stand during the 2025 Goodwood Revival. The painting celebrates nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the quiet symbolism of sporting objects that once carried enormous pressure, ambition, and hope.

 

This piece will appeal to collectors of sporting art, lovers of British heritage and vintage design, and those drawn to evocative still-life works with a strong sense of story.
