The series of landscape paintings were prompted by the artist’s reading of St Mark’s Gospel. Each painting is his personal response based around an event or incident from this Gospel, and each event or subject is set in a particular landscape to be found in and around Sherbrook Valley on Cannock Chase.
The artist created these works to sit within the centuries-old tradition of Christian painting. Each painting the same size, 10” x 12”, as if from the pages of a Christian Celtic book. Small, personal, easy to connect with, the artist made these oil paintings employing drawing, variety of mark and ornamentation, glazing, colour and tone, with the intention of pointing toward spiritual meaning and significance.
