Every picture tells a story.
We thought it would be nice to set aside this page as a way of celebrating the activities and achievements of people in Mind Halton and at the same time celebrate the life of the organisation.
Often a picture can say more than a thousand words, so the following images go some way to reflect the life of Mind Halton.

| "Still Life with crown of thorns" |
|
Originally an exercise but completed in a surreal way. Especially the clouds coming through the open window; part cloud, part mountain. All completed as a warning to drinking and smoking as evil, with subdued crown of thorns. The message – stop smoking and drinking, and take off you crown of thorns and take the vices of man kind. 2003 |
