Reflections

Our lives make reflectons which others see. Sometimes we forget that we influence others all the time. Remember to stop every day to think about what reflection you would like others to see. Is it kindness, hope, patience... There are pieces of mirror in this painting, so people can see pieces of thier reflection. There are also words written in the water that people might be reflecting, good and bad. It is up to us to make a good reflection with our lives.

River of Life

"The river of Life." This is the river that comes from God-the life giver. The animals (representing people or spirits) worshipping God are the ones swimming upstream. Peace and love surround them, and they are free. The animals on the outside are under the 'spirit of this world'. They are bound. Freedom is only a step away, but they choose not to because of fear. I was inspired to do this painting by some aboriginal paintings which all have spiritual stories behind them. I used some of the same styles but i also added lighter colours not often used to make it different. Below "All Welcome" is a banner I made for one of the churches in Sydney. (3x1 metres on plywood)
