The cold having abated a little I’m continuing with this new series – all about light on stone. More about it Here.

This is a view of a 19th century church in Bath. I liked the mystery and sense of unknown – the sense of invitation. It’s no mistake that ‘entrance’ also has a mystical meaning.

Today’s painting is dedicated to our friend and neighbour Maureen Stewart, who passed away this morning.

I’ve never seen anyone more reconciled to her end – more good-humoured, even though her end came too soon (she was only in her 60s). She had the most wry and mischievous sense of humour, a litle bit dark at times!

She believed in life after death. She’d experienced astral projection many times. She said she was ready to meet her end.

May she rest in peace, joining all the other wonderful souls.
