Visions of Paradise I

In the most important ways, my life has been a progress. I have been blessed to see my love of painting grow and flourish, my relations with family and friends deepen and mature.

Underlying these worldly satisfactions, I believe, is a spiritual progress. As an artist I seek out beauty; I revel in the glory of God's creation. Lately I've come to an understanding. What we call beauty is something more: a glimpse of the divine, a vision of paradise. That profound truth is the inspiration for my new Visions of Paradise print collection.

These are earthly places, living moments that speak to the deepest part of my imagination. They offer a glimpse of paradise on earth. In Stairway to Paradise, a classic stone stairway embraced by climbing roses and shaded by lavish flowering plum and dogwood trees, is such an emblem of the eternal. The stairs lead us up to glowing distant hedges - and perhaps to the subject of the next piece in the collection!

Won't you join me in stepping through that luminous passage - through this painting and others to follow in this series of works? Together we will explore the garden vistas that perhaps can awaken in each of us memories of Eden.
