Walk In The Light Jerusalem


There is a paved path outside Jerusalem's Old City wall, a little South of the Jaffa Gate. As the painting developed, I began adding symbols of the world's greatest story.

Within the arm of the cross, you will find the Saviours wounded heel and the serpents shattered head.

The painting also speaks about a new life of walking in the light, of fellowship with God and one another, beyond the cross.

In the centre, beside a broken idol of self, are symbols of discarded things, infirmity, pretense and addictions.

On the right, hyssop (synonymous with cleansing) blooms around an olive tree into which a wild, gentile branch has been grafted.

The Two Ways


This painting began with a Christian couple (middle right) being prevented from adopting 2 girls (lower right). The girls, who were sisters, had to make up their minds whether to follow in Gods ways, or drift away from Him and go with the crowd.

Jesus said, Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide enough for all the multitudes who choose its easy way. But the Gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7 v 13,14.

Some people said this painting was far too graphic and could give children nightmares. Interestingly, it deeply impacted children and stayed in their minds for years.

This piece has been already SOLD.
