At present, the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic are holding their 26th Annual exhibition there, and Ray Dougherty of Wildwood Crest, has won a first place award for his painting ‘•Trinity’ 1 . I have known and painted with Ray for the past couple of vears and have a great ddhl of respect for his artistic integrity as well as admiration for his wonderful creations. As an abstract painter, he was weeded out any accidental following who might misconstrue his work as • pretty pictures ", while he takes giant strides pursuing his own Vision. In celebration of the event, I invited Ray to describe in words that which this painting seeks to do visually •‘Trinity” is a six-sided painting symbolizing the union of God the father, son. and holy spirit. The six sides symbolize learning and the-disciplines ^growth: Science, Social Studies. The Arts, Physical Education, Communication, a.nd Mathematics.

Human fulfillment and learning are, I believe, man’s Vnost important searches for God - The painting has a field of blue which symbolizes the heavens, the depth and mysteries of God; red borders the blue and embodies the strength and energy of God. The center of the canvas unfolds in a book-like fashion in gold which refers to the written word of God and the organized religions Brown refer to man's work in God’s name and the holy spirit, God's force on the earth. There are linear movements throughout the painting, interlocking the Shapes and serving to symbolize, as well, .but I d have to write a small book to try to reflect on their meaning Hopefully that involvement will bring a v iewer bac k aga i n toJook. There are 3 cirCMTih the center of the paining, their sizes grow as tfi^ move towards center. Tfcf first is in a diamond shape atop the canvas, imaged as the. eye of God the father, each of the other circles change reflexive color in their

circumferance as would a magnifying glass. This a mbolizes the awakening, r ect God's Son and Holy Spirit has on mankind."
