Bible Cross in a Red World



'Cross and Circle' - For Sale - £25
With Easter coming shortly, I thought that it would be good to have a display of my artform as different types of Crosses, to make people think about the true meaning of what Good Friday and Easter Sunday mean. 'Cross and Circle' is an attempt to show that even the Cross cannot be camouflaged.



'Brown Cross' -For Sale - £35
This cross was constructed from the brown envelopes that drop through the letter box. There were three shades of brown in the type of envelopes that I have recieved recently - Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I love the shade of green that makes up the background.
'Bible Cross' - This Cross is made up from chapters of the new testament. They were all chosen at random as is my style. The words and sentences that can be seen are: 'Sin and blasphemy', 'JESUS', 'God', 'This is my beloved Son', 'The temptation of Jesus' and 'generation of vipers'. All of which is very interesting.

'Empire' -For Sale - £30
This is another abstract in the style of 'Treasure Map Skyline'. Random images chosen for their style and strength to compliment the finished piece.

'Comet Skull' - For Sale - £30
This could have been called 'Tower Statue. Comet Skull' in reference to all the images that were chosen in the final work. The Statue is very stricking and therefore took centre place. An early image of a comet flying past the Earth and a skeleton represent, life and death. Tower of Babel, anyone?

'Drummer Boy' - For Sale - £45
A return to my style, without being abstract. First in a series of this length of work, along with 'Comet Skull'. I like the pattern on the little boy's drum. The background is darker than usual but the circle gives the radiance of light to the boy's red top.

'Emerald Cross' - Present
Another Cross, this time as an early Easter Present. I love the emerald Green that makes up the cross. The background was made up from a picture about Red Indians, its great when one picture gets turned into something completely different!
'Unfinished Circle' - A simple but effective piece about two halfs of the same circle, contained within a rectangle.

'Flag Cowboy' - For Sale - £45
A stunning image of a face painted with the American 'stars and stripes' of their flag. The multicolouredness of the backing circle sets the picture off nicely.
'Red World' - This is an abstract based on the colour red. It is a reflection on the colourful map that is the world, and the people contained within it.

'Two halves of the same Miro' -For Sale - £35
This is another symmetrical piece based on the work of Miro. The orange halves are the two sides of a reflective summer sunset.


'Onward goes the Pilgrim' - For Sale - £45
Another attempt at a symmetrical piece, this time it represents the strangeness of man. Pilgrim meaning a stranger. The is a slight nod to cubism and all it needs is a guitar.
