10 Red River and Light Oil on canvas 48 x 48"

We all need a sense of light in our busy and often frenetic lives. the

phrase ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ is a well-worn one. this verse from John’s gospel tells of an eternal light, which brings hope. Whatever our situation in life, this light and hope can never be extinguished.

i hope that as you view these works, you will feel a sense of ‘light’, a sense of help at hand and ultimately a sense of hope for the future.
