I'm reading Richard Gwyn's book, 'John A., The Man Who Made Us'. I thought one of the best lines in the book, describes John A.'s political savvy quite succinctly as the 'ability to herd cats'. I'm not writing a paper so won't include a footnote or anything. If you are Canadian then you'll appreciate that not much has changed....That remark reminded me of a series of copies of paintings I did for a local church a few years ago. I should mention that another artist, K. Bellamy, helped me to do the calligraphy (her specialty) and provided lots of artistic, emotional, and spiritual support throughout the project. These paintings represent four guys who also did their share of herding . Their flock consisted of two legged sheep. The artist who produced them in the 1300's was a genius. You can read more about them if you search the British Library online for the Lindisfarne Gospels. Copies shown here were done on canvas in acrylic and ink and are 3' x 4'.
