St. George's Day



"There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word,
which means more to me than any other.
That word is England." - Sir Winston Churchill

April 23, St. George's Day. On this day, the traditionally accepted date of Saint George's death in 303 A.D, I give you two pieces of my own, and several inspiring works by various artists through-out the ages.

Silence in Silene

Happy St. George's Day
