- John Reilly
I feel that a visual artist should not talk too much about his work because a good painting should speak in purely visual terms through form, colour and tone and should not need to be interpreted or explained. My paintings are not concerned with the surface appearance of people or things but try to express something of the fundamental spiritual reality behind this surface appearance. I try to express in visible form the oneness and unity of this invisible power binding all things into one whole. I do not illustrate Bible stories literally, as I am not interested in the places or people but try to express what I feel is the deeper significance of each story for every individual throughout all time.

Come unto me , all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Footprints by Margaret Fishback Powers. My precious, precious child. I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.
