Allegories of Heaven by Dinah Roe Kendall

I think I saw a couple of Dinah's painting at Greenbelt a few years ago.

The style of the paintings has a strong echo of Beryl Cook, and while not especially radical artistically there setting of the Gospel narrative in the “ordinary” has a power.

It is about allowing an encounter with the stories stripped of the familiar, and so safe, depictions – so many moments from the Bible have been seen so often that they have almost become invisible.
