Detail.
To the glory of God and in loving memory of Nowell Luis Fernandes who died 7th April 1890, and of Jane his wife, who died 16th August 1900, this window is dedicated.
Charles Eamer Kempe was a painter of walls, ceilings and woodwork of churches in the 1860s. The style then in vogue reflected a resurgence of interest to high church practices. Kempe's training served him well, and he started his own stained glass company, CE Kempe & Co in London, in 1868. He was not a trained artist, but was nevertheless artistic, and able to suggest ideas which could be developed by his artists and cartoonists. He insisted that only the firm's name should take the credit for the standard of work produced, and that individual members of the studio remain anonymous.
Kempe perfected the use of silver stain on clear glass, which leaves a yellow tint, which could be delicate or deep depending on the amount of stain. His greatest stylistic influence was the stained glass of Northern Germany and Flanders from the 16th Century. He took many trips to Europe, often taking the Kempe Company artists with him. The insignia of Kempe, from about 1895 until his death in 1907 was a wheatsheaf, from his family's coat of arms. After his death, the firm was run by four of his directors, including his cousin, Walter Tower. The insignia then changed to a wheatsheaf with a black tower.

Description
Let's keep it real – husbands often make respecting them difficult. How can a wife respect a husband who hasn't earned it? Should she even do that?

Although I do a little editing - within my limited abilities - my images are always based on something I have actually seen. This abstract was created from the remains of a sign in a Fareham car park.

Valldecabres anunciava els seus productes amb molta freqüència als diaris. Aquests són tres anuncis a la Correspondència de València que ocuparen tota la capçalera superior del diari. (Anys 1903, 1909, 1917)
I find this so lyrical... A message from the heart left somewhere where perhaps the person might stumble upon it, might even think of the person who sprayed it there. Or triggers in you a thought of someone special, perhaps.
