Bless you my son

24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from the age old question: was there a Christ? The image is hoped to be thought provoking and it pictures a priest blessing a child. The priest could be from another world or energised by the holy spirit or what ever your mind would like you to think, ie. thought provoking. I am a believer in Christ but two thirds of the world believe in another God, i.e. thought provoking.

Tempest V - Horse

24x 18 Acrylic on canvas board. The concept is that on the back of any horse is an angel that is there to protect the rider when they ride. I have had two very spectacular falls of my painted horse Summer in 2011 and had wished that an angel was on the horses back to protect me during the fall.

Red Barn

24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from photo and sketch taken at the Red Barn that is the home of Missouri Fox Trotter "Summer" and American Quarter Horse "Zany". These two older horses in the twilight of their lives enjoying their companionship and comraderie.

Tempest IV - Horse

24 x 18 Acrylic on canvas board derived from the inner energy of horses unseen externally but imagined by us mere mortals.

Works by Meagan Mcgrath

Meagan titled this piece "The Parrot"

Meagan titled this piece "The Good Shepherd tending his sheep"

I was in Ottawa Canada from June 26th thro July 2nd and had the pleasure to meet Meagan Mcgrath. She is the 9 year old daughter of my wife cousin. She is an amazing young lady and stands 48 inches high but with a personality as big as Ottawa itself, despite being wheelchair bound she remains happy, positive, funny and her own self and as you can see from th artwork has a good sense of color and design. I like to see the art work created by children as they have a freedom and spontaniety that adults are often unable to show. She is a life lesson to all of us.
