Her Majesty Platinum Jubilee; Her Rosy Reign

“God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy, and glorious, long to reign over us, God save the Queen.” This painting is done to celebrate 70 years reign of Queen Elisabeth II and her rosy and thorny experience in the house of Windsor. In line with the theme of this exhibition – HOME, I painted the head of the home of Windsor - Queen Elisabeth II and her husband. Like in very home, the home of Windsor had their own domestic problems. There are rumours of a rift between Prince William and Prince Harry; Prince Harry abandoned the ...

In My Father's Arms

“Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you.” Isaiah 46:4 This painting is one of the series of paintings that I am using to illustrate some verses from the Holy Bible that encourages faith and trust in the everlasting arms of God. This painting is to illustrate Isaiah 46:4 and it was influenced by the picture of our first grandchild taken when he was about 5 hours old - “In My Father’s Arms.” In this painting, the baby rests peacefully and feels secur...

They have to flee the country as their lives are in danger; some men have been killed and some are living in hiding. Some Afghan families lost breadwinners of the family as male members of the family may have been killed or flee the country and women are prohibited from w...

Afghan Women with the Veil of Thorns

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” Romans 12:15 The women of Afghanistan have been freed from the oppressive rule of the Taliban-led government since 2001 when America forced them out of power and installed “a democratic government.” For twenty-one years the women of Afghanistan can dream of becoming anything and believe that sky is the limit to their achievement in life. The glass ceiling of their attainment as women were broken; women were obtaining jobs in many fields of occupations. The departure of American and western forces paved the way for relen...

AMY G: The Queen of the Ring

“Definitely explored some painful avenues and some scrapers. Got to be proud of our battle wounds and take every tear of the flesh as a manifestation of our achievements. Keep grinding, keep growing, cut the distractions and stay focused people it’s all about the journey.” Amy G. This painting is about Amy G. one of the circus and aerial artists that entertain and perform in the open air for the enjoyment of the crowds. No pain no gain seems to be the right slogan for the circus performers and aerial artists like the young lady that I used her images for this work. Falling with broken ...
