"Stone walls do not a prison make" Acrylic on canvas 61 cm x 75 cm This portrait of my husband captures some of his confidence in his delight in trying new things, living life on the edge of his comfort zone and never being constrained by the prison walls of others' expectations. “Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage; Minds innocent and quiet take That for an hermitage; If I have freedom in my love And in my soul am free, Angels alone, that soar above, Enjoy such liberty.” ― Richard Lovelace, To Althea, from Prison
