I have been through a turbulent and unforeseen period in my life. It changed my outlook on life and, over time, my art. These three works represent the change.

Jervaulx Abbey
I thought twice about posting this painting as it was destroyed by someone at a time when life was difficult. For me, this act marked the beginning of the end. I am now, however, at the end of a new beginning. I thought that people might like to see it.
The Tempest
I recently revisited an old painting of mine as I wanted to make some changes to it. It is something I normally avoid doing but this particular painting will be left to my daughter.
Come Fly With Me
The last two years of my life has seen immense change and heartache. I realised during the worst of these times that my art was reflecting my personal life, insomuch, as it saw only things that were wrong in the world. Since rediscovering myself, I have again opened my eyes to how beautiful life can be. Now I feel that I am entering a new phase whereby my art is once again more aesthetic. I am at peace.
Gaza
In a land lost to passing years
Who counts the drops of mothers’ tears?
When leaders break with the other side
How many more sons of those who’ve died
Must live to die in apartheid?
Gaza!
Resist
The misplaced hubris of narcissism
Beguiling cloak of pious fascism
Fundamental rapture revealed in racism
Vanity, insanity, profanity
Fake false prophet of the deluded
Putin’s pawn with whom he colluded
The Emperor’s new clothes lay bare
Not the hope but the despair
Beware!
We must continue and persist
Resist!
