| Boy and Mountains, tempera on panel, 1972. I've loved this painting since I first saw a reproduction of it, years ago. |

| Select to see - slighty - larger. |

| I really wish I could see it larger/better image of this remarkable painting.... |

Adam and Eve, tempera on panel, 1980-86. By the dates, it appears the painter has revisited the above painting, but I feel that, though the
flanking figures are in some ways more congenial here, the central painting-within-a-painting isn't nearly as successful. |
Amazing feet on all of the paintings but especially the first - an odd thing to notice perhaps but you don't' often see strong feet like that!
