LOVE MADE A HOME IN THE WRECKAGE

Christ in us — the hope of glory.

A crown of thorns. A reminder of sacrifice, surrender, and the beauty that can emerge when the old gives way to the new.

Love makes a home, even in the wreckage.

Peaceful Places

A growing collection of quiet landscapes — reminders to seek rest and peace, physically, spiritually and relationally.

THE CAPTAIN

A self-portrait, without looking anything like me.

The Captain rides into town with all the bravado — crown on his head, pride in his stride — but his heart is somewhere else.

He longs for the sea. For the crash of waves against the hull. For freedom.

The great blue-black horse is the strength that carries him through the practical business of life. The fence is responsibility, routine and circumstance. And the little yellow birds? They can simply fly over it.

Perhaps that’s what The Captain is really about: the person the world sees, and the place your heart still longs to be.

And through all the colour, humour and performance, that little heart knows exactly where it belongs.

Introducing Peaceful Places — a new collection by Munro.

Inspired by the places where we pause, breathe, and remember what matters.

Which painting caught your eye first?

04/07/2026

Last week I shared the first two paintings from Peaceful Places.

Whenever an artist begins a new body of work, there is always a little uncertainty. You spend months exploring a new direction, never quite knowing whether others will see what you see.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to like, comment or send a private message of encouragement.

Today I’m sharing the next two paintings in the collection:

Peaceful Places 003

Peaceful Places 004

My hope is that these paintings will be quiet reminders that, even in a busy world, we are invited to seek rest and peace—physically, spiritually and relationally.

Today I’m introducing the first two paintings from a new body of work I’ve been quietly developing.

Peaceful Places is a series inspired by the quiet beauty of the landscape—not specific places, but places that invite us to pause, breathe and simply be.

Over the years my paintings have evolved through many seasons. This collection is another step in that journey: simplifying the landscape until colour, shape and atmosphere become the story.

These first two originals are simply titled:

Peaceful Places No. 1

Peaceful Places No. 2

I look forward to sharing many more as the collection grows.

FORGED
170 × 170 cm
Acrylic on canvas

Some faces are not painted softly into existence.
They are forged.

Built through heat, pressure, memory, survival and becoming.

This work carries the feeling of a soul tempered by life — scarred, luminous, unbroken. The drips remain visible like traces of time itself, refusing perfection and choosing truth instead.

One of the large-scale works travelling to Art in the Country 2026.

Available through The Munro Gallery.
