my paradise

My notion of paradise is probably not terribly rooted in reality. Or maybe it is, and I just haven't visited it yet. Or, maybe it is a combination of different places I have seen over time.
I created this piece after a dear friend unexpectedly died. I image him in his paradise....and hope that when my time is up...I will land in my paradise also.

It's beautiful. Your color sense has always been wonderful.

I remember you from the Artists Workshop on St. Maartin 21 years ago and have seen your work hear and there over the years. Nice that you have started a blog.

Sorry about your friend. Nice image to think of.

I wasn't going to bother correcting "Artist's Workshop"--I meant "Illustrator's Workshop"; but when I saw that I had typed "hear" for "here", I had to re-post or look like a total moron. Sheesh! Sorry.

This is a very moving visual tribute to your friend. It has the grace and beauty of a Japanese print...the flowers are so delicate and the colors so peaceful. Beautiful work!
