"HUDDLED on NEWSPAPER" (12% for a York Charity)

This is an Original, and professionally framed 7" x 5" oil painting. The frame is a dark-grained wood frame, ready to hang on the wall.

I am an artist born in Yorkshire, now living in York, and trained through the Royal Academy of Arts in London. I was awarded by them the last Turner Gold Medal for Painting. I have a passion for my Art, both Drawing and Painting. I have worked on various subjects that fascinate me, including buildings, trees, the sea and boats, people, portraits of politicians, the homeless, and gardens. It takes me 2-3 weeks to paint a small painting now. I am now in the "WHOS WHO IN ART", the “DICTIONARY OF INTERNATIONAL BIOGRAPHY“, and the “WORLD'S WHO'S WHO OF WOMEN”, as I am recognised to be one of “Britain's leading artists.”

The practical spirituality evident in St. Francis and other Faiths is a focus on seeing God in everyone, especially the marginalised. For such people, poverty involves not only serving the poor but also being connected with them. I believe we all have a responsibility to each other, by being open and receptive to each other, to allow others into our lives. To be free enough to share in the lives of others. Not to fear them, nor reject, but to engage. The greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, and having no one. I have come more and more to realize that it is being unwanted is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience. (Mother Teresa)

Homeless and poor suffer order malnutrition, and their life expectancy on the streets is 47 years. Not to fear them, nor despise them, but to share ourselves with them. St. Francis taught us that we need to come to know and alleviate poverty. Of sharing gifts and needs, and through this way encountering a Mystery.

I heard a Headmaster say, "the privileged have responsibilities, and need integrity".
