Narrative paintings

The narrative element of these pictures usually evolves as I wrestle with the formal elements of composition in that I do not usually have preformed ideas in my head when I begin painting them. They are a small representative selection of a larger body of work reflecting my responses to living in city and country bound together by a search for Christian spirituality that shines light and colour in even the darkest of places. Some of the works in this series are a form of visual prayer. I do not consciously set out to make Christian art but approach these pictures in a prayerful way uttering in pictures what I cannot say in words. These works evolve slowly and are meant for quiet reflection and meditation the meaning often only being revealed over a period of time.
