Grail

The Holy Grail - The Sacred Cup of the Last Supper.

These pictures depict the Grail in mystical realisation. The number of true apostles is how many days it took to translate to canvas. The finished work is displayed in its ornate antique silver frame in the large entrance hall to my coastal retreat and greets visitors visually as they step over the portal. This work left me exhausted, but pleased with the result. I was in a transcendental state throughout the process, pouring much energy and love into its conception and creation. An ambitious project by any standard, I am nevertheless most gratified by the response received from those who have seen the painting in person. Like all my works of art, this one in particular needs to be experienced in the flesh. Viewings for acquaintances and aficionados can always be arranged by appointment.
