"Father Forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." St Luke 23 v 33



In the light of recent events in Paris I realise that, sadly, I could continue to paint a whole series like this painting, with a changing range of events throughout the world surrounding the cross...

...but maybe you will notice at least one sign of hope given in this painting ? 

I also noted the significant signs of hope & solidarity given by people in Paris, after the traumatic attacks on ordinary people...
  • ...those who offered hospitality to random survivors needing somewhere to stay overnight...
  • ...the young man who brought out his piano, played some of Lennon's peace music...
  • ...all those who just turned up at the hospital to donate blood for the wounded...
  • ...and, of course the array of flowers, candles & prayers...

 & crowds gathering for a vigil in Trafalgar Square, even in the pouring rain
