This painting is inspired by the next passage out of The Profundis by Oscar Wilde: “Of course the sinner must repent. But why? Simply because otherwise he would be unable to realise what he had done. The moment of repentance is the moment of initiation. More than that: it is the means by which one alters one’s past. The Greeks thought that impossible. They often say in their Gnomic aphorisms, ‘Even the Gods cannot alter the past.’ Christ showed that the commonest sinner could do it, that it was the one thing he could do.

This original acrylic painting is partly inspired by my fascination for birds, especially how they seem to enjoy windy weather a lot. It often looks to me like they are having a party on moments like that. It is also inspired by Matthew 6: 25+26: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"

This is an original acrylic painting inspired by the book 'The Waves' by Virginia Woolf. That book is so strange and wonderful to me. Many paragraphs and sentences inspired me. This painting is inspired by this one: "I think sometimes (I am not twenty yet) I am not a woman, but the light that falls on this gate, on this ground. I am the seasons, I think sometimes, January, May, November; the mud, the mist, the dawn."

This is an original acrylic painting titled ‘Wear Them Like Ornaments’ It is derived from a scripture in the Bible: Isaiah 49:18 "Lift up your eyes and look around; all your children gather and come to you. As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "you will wear them all as ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride." Even though this scripture is used symbolically it reminded me in this painting of women who have lost a(n unborn) child or never had one, and how God will turn this grief and missing into beauty. Into an ornament that will bless His name.
