The Shamrock and the Sun

This painting was inspired by a number of things. Firstly, it is the combination of my family's wonderful Heritage; its colors are those of the Irish National Flag and that of the Australian Aboriginal Flag; The Green Irish Shamrock I added for the symbolic gesture; as the Sun means to the Aboriginal Flag.

Another inspiration came from the wonderful apology on the “Sorry Day” in the Australian Parliament by our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd.

So I thought that it was also appropriate to include the Irish Flag and Shamrock to coincide with Saint Patrick’s Day.

But it really didn’t end here as I recognise and acknowledge that both of my cultures and their people have for hundreds of years been subjected to such harshness and vilification, in particular, by the British.

In essence, this painting at this time, joins and symbolizes my two cultures together with the Pride and Dignity, they rightly and richly deserve!

Included with this painting is a signed "Certificate of Authenticity" by the painter as Original work, painting description and historical fact sheet, and "How To Care For Your Painting". On the reverse side of this painting is the Artist's DNA with his Right hand thumb print in yellow paint, signed, dated with the relevant Registered number....to protect you, the new owner and the Artist from fraud. Additionally, this painting has a silicon coating for its protection, preservation and longevity.

Medium: Acrylic Paint on Stretched Canvas.
