Abstract painting & religious images; spiritual plasticity of colour and abstract forms; symchromia & neocezannism; the theme of St. George the Victorious and its abstract colour and form plasticity expression.
The intention of these portraits is not a realistic recording of a persons features. They are an attempt to catch his very identity and radiation on his environment.
The vulnerability of the human being is always emphasised.
This painting depicts the the two strongest creatures in the African Savannah meeting under a tree to get out of the summer afternoon dwindling heat!

As part of my collection of pictures of features on the Menai Strait (between Wales and the island of Anglesey) this picture is of the summerhouse in the garden of a house named 'Chateau Rhianfa', Rhianfa loosely meaning a ladies' retreat; the house having been built in the mid-19th century by a wealthy baron for his wife and family. This summerhouse is in the garden that sweeps down to the Menai Strait. My wife is sitting patiently inside.
I have rendered it in 'Chroma' as well as reducing it to bronze.
