Art has always been related to Spirituality. I can’t conceive of art without it.

Norman Adams RA, (1927-2005)

The above quote is written on the back of a card I bought from The Royal Academy, which I rediscovered recently. Rainbow Painting (1) 1966 has been glued to my studio wall for at least a couple years, and it still makes me smile.

Yet both rainbow and sea are complete entities—independent yet integrally related—like the body and the soul.
