Artwork: The Beginning
​
Medium: Oil on linen with captain white gold and silver leaf
​
Dimensions: 16" x 26" x 2"
​
Description: "The Beginning" was painted at the beginning of the pandemic, with all the worries, the fears and the isolation that we all had to endure, in unprecedented times. We were introduced to a time when, due to human life being restricted so very severely, that nature seemed to take back some of what had been stolen. I hoped to portray, in this artwork a sense of decay and loss, yet install a feeling of hope and rebirth. It was painted over a course of three months, whilst homeschooling my children (one of whom is the model of this piece) with many thin layers of oil paint, and with gilding completed at several stages throughout the piece.

​
Medium: Oil on canvas
​
Dimensions: 153 cms and Width 122 cms
​
Description: An intermission provides the chance to pause and reflect. To see a new way forward or to choose to continue on the same path. In any situation, we have a choice.
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
