Some of the paintings were inspired by scenes in Jamaica, the setting for Hearts Across Forever. Others were created from photos taken as a hurricane moved toward the shores of an island in the Bahamas. Visits to St. Martin, Barbados, Trinidad, and Sedona, Arizona were the motivation for other paintings in the series.
Seeing a series of these paintings hanging on the walls of The Ward's beautiful new gallery space brings back many memories. It's fun to be a "Passenger to Paradise" and encounter lovely spaces in our too often traumatic world.
Thank you, The Ward Center for Contemporary Art, for bringing new spaces for artists and art. Make art, not war. That would be a beautiful thing and offer many new journeys for all "Passengers to Paradise".

Was that opening night? It looks like a great turnout.
It was a good turnout,Diane,especially since this was also graduation night at zillions of area schools. The underground studios were full as well.
This would be a dream come true for my hubby who is an artist but works with wood. I love the one painting you are standing beside. It is a brilliant mix of bright colours-love it
Thank you, Birgit. I love wood sculpture. Good luck to your husband with his artwork!
I bet seeing all those paintings brought back a ton of memories.
Creating a show with them creates many memories, Alex. Thanks for visiting.
What a fantastic opportunity. Looks like you had a good turnout too!
