Paradise

48" x 48" oil on stretched canvas with gloss varnish finish. Custom framing included with purchase. Hand signed and dated on the back.
 
Color is all around you - glittering turquoise waters, silver sands, pops of peach and pink amidst every shade of green you can imagine. Birds send up their song with the endless rhythm of the waves. The air is thick and the bright sun draws you towards its heat. A strong salty breeze whips through your hair and you lift your arms to the sky. You feel alive - truly, wildly, boldly alive!
 
I hope this painting makes you feel as free as the tropics - blooming with warmth, vibrancy, and vitality.
 
Like much of my work, there is a deeper side to this piece. The hibiscus blossom is bursting with energy, yet surrounding this focal point are the various stages of the flower's life - From newly emerging buds to the shells that remain once the petals have fallen away. There is a beginning and end to everything, and this fragility is what makes life meaningful. 
 
It is a reminder to embrace the beauty that life has to offer. So go experience it! Go soak up the sunshine, feel the warmth on your skin, hold a bright flower in your hands and know that this is your moment to bloom!
