On Reflection, things are different
Acrylic on Industrial Fabric (Lutradur), 100 x 130 cm
When we reflect on our lives at Lent we discover things are different to what we thought. We have one image of how we are travelling but one reflection we notice things aren’t quite the same. Not wildly different but enough to cause us to pause, realign and once again seek to transform our path.

The Betrayal
Watercolour and Ink, 68cm x 96cm
In the painting we see the portrayal of a contemporary Jesus and Judas. There is also a hand showing with a pointing finger. It is not clear to whom this hand belongs.
The raised and pointing finger is used to identify, to betray, to sentence and to honour Jesus.
At the baptism of Jesus:
You are my Son, whom I love; with you am I pleased. Luke 3:22
At Gethsemane Judas said:
The one I kiss is the man: arrest him and lead him away under guard. Mark 14:44
Pilate sentencing Jesus said:
Here is the man. You take and crucify him. John 19: 5,6
The centurian praised God and said:
Surely, this is a righteous man. Luke 23:47
