Originally the painting to complete “The Why” Series was to be “Peace”. This became the most frustrating of all the works to find clarity with. Peace is a big deal and probably the most sort after “Why” and it was the one I couldn’t find. Peace is the end of the journey, the true understanding, [...]

Love is not a single colour, but ironically, this piece is just that. There are several elements of this work that I love.
