Painting 1 (1.3 X 1m): College Badges with Buddhist Meanings On a background of a six-whorled central figure (representing the Six Perfections) and surrounded by the eight petals (representing the Noble Eightfold Path) any existing college badge can be given a powerful Buddhist meaning.
Painting 2 (1 X 1.3m): St. Stithian's College Buddha The Good Samaritan was not a Christian, but was the epitome of "Metta" itself (Metta is loving-kindness in Buddhism). Here, a youthful Buddha and two young TULKUS honour the St. Stithian's College stained- glass Chapel window depicting "The Good Samaritan." This will be the most famous fine art painting done concerning St. Stithian's College, it is predicted.	Painting 3 (1 X 1.3m): The first picture painted: Saints in a Nepalese Setting, flying Buddhist Prayer Flags. The three questions make up the ACID-TEST questioning the factual existence of ADAM & EVE - indeed the validity of CHRISTIANITY ITSELF. The fourth question is: What are you going to do about it?
Painting 4 (1 X 1.3m): The Acid-Test of Deadly Myth The Chapel of Blood from the depraved tortures of the Inquisition - to suddenly a God of Love? Did "God" change? NO. Did Man change God? Yes.	Painting 5: Enlargement of a section of The Acid-Test of Deadly Myth (Painting 3) The realization of Man changing His God conceptually smashes the Knights Templar Cross with a direct lightning-strike of enlightened clarity. The God of wrath SUDDENLY becomes a God of Love? Hardly!
Painting 6 (1 X 1.3m): KALU RINPOCHE and the 17th KARMAPA Two esoteric symbols were "channeled" for St. Stithian's College - one very TANTRIC and one far less complicated; on my return from Buddhist INDIA in 2003. They appear above the 17th Karmapa. The other two symbols are Vajrayana Buddhist symbols.	Painting 7: Enlargement of a section of Jesus resorts to Slaughter: And the Great Feast of the Lord from Painting 6, Gallery 2 One wonders where all the love went. Read Revelations. St. Stithian's Chapel and the LITTERED bones of Saints with Marabou, Cape Vultures, Lappet-faced Vulture and White-backed Vultures: A GREAT PAINTING IN ITS OWN RIGHT.
