An Angelic Introduction

What better way to introduce my blog than to plug my latest exhibition.

It's called Messenger RSVP and can be seen between 1pm and 4pm at St Bernadette's Church, Station Road, Wallsend, NE28 9UL until the 21st of October. The work shown is based on the theme of messages and messengers, which I have chosen to interpret as angels, which are defined in the Oxford dictionary as "messengers of God". The angel that is my muse is a life-size headstone found in San Michele, the cemetery island in Venice. Here are some images:

The exhibition also features the work of Peter O'Brien, my brother who is a glass blower, pen and ink artist Steve Lancaster and painter Linda Anne Watson. You can see more of my art on the sporadically updated COB's Web
