     Yes, this piece was stimulated by all the commotion over the recent demise of Michael Jackson. May he finally rest in peace.
      I have never visited ’ÄúNeverland’Äù, so I dreamt up what my ’ÄúNeverland’Äù would be’ĶA fantasy world where everything is beautiful, everything is peaceful, everything is easy’Ķyou know, ’ÄúNeverland’Äù. Like Michael Jackson we all search for our own ’ÄúNeverland’Äôs’Äù, hopefully this painting will put you in a dreamland for a few moments where you can relax and find beauty and peace.
      I wish you your ’ÄúNeverland’Äù for the coming year, and hope all your wishes are realized.

’ÄúIt is better to paint from memory, for thus the work will be your own; your sensations, your individuality and your soul will triumph over that of the amateur.’Äù ’Äì Paul Gaugin.
