This painting has a most special meaning for me. I painted this in honor of
"my beloved" wife Judi. To me, the Cayman Islands are among the most
romantic places on earth. As I saw Judi walking towards the sea, with her
wind-swept chiffon skirt and scarves, I knew that the setting and the mood was
something that I wanted to capture for all eternity. Notice the traces of the
sand on the bottom of Judi's feet. The traces of sand symbolize the traces of
the lives that we both left behind as we ventured into our new life together.
Judi's path also has symbolic meaning for me. I feel that our love is cleansing,
refreshing, and gentle - like the sea that surrounded her as she played in the
surf.
Judi and I strolled these white coral sand beaches together as we planned our
lives together. We lingered among the tropical bloom and listened to the gentle,
warm breezes as we spoke softly to each other. This beach in the Cayman Islands
was beautiful and romantic, just like Judi is. I painted my memories of this
experience so that they could live on forever.
My painting was done at Rum Point - a magnificent beach on the largest of the
three islands - Grand Cayman. One thing is certain, a visit to the Cayman
Islands brings peace to both body and soul. It is the ultimate escape from
life's pressure, deadlines, and stresses. If you go, take someone you love. I
did. Please enjoy My Beloved - my tribute to the one I love.
