The Withering Tree

Oil on canvas board.

"This is a dream of long ago...
Of a wanderer, an occasional sage and an often hermit;
who oft as life relies upon, took steps too bold
into the cowardice path of loneliness for sanity's sake alone.

Oh! pathless paths they were.
The truth better left unsaid of the dark alleys
and those mystery miles some roads carried him through.

Why the journey?
Why the pain?
How the endurance to carry on?
No one knows yet! Not even he...

Seeker of the Trinity-'Love, Truth and Simplicity',
the journey still continues, across barbed wires and fences
and through doubts and hurdles come what may.

Like the others who took this path and disappeared
into the mists on the rivers they tread, leaving no trails whatsoever,
so will he and knows that too... yet,
he makes his own path step by step.
Knowing well that a man who has chosen to walk into the dark
must not be surprised to see the light within."

The Crucifix

The agony on the cross is depicted in this oil on canvas board.

The whip, the spear, the crown of thorns, the blood stained nails and the cross swirling into an obsolete; a representation of life itself... the rest left unsaid and to the interpretation of the viewer.


A piece that can be used as a point for reflection and/or meditation.
