While on a trip earlier this month, I visited one of the Wyland galleries and purchased one of his new works.
"Nature's Paradise" has special meaning because it has elements which made it a suitable tribute to my late father.
Dad credited himself with my interest in art and always enjoyed visiting me in the Florida Keys. The piece combines
Wyland's famous, vibrant underseascapes with a view of a tropical island. The view of the island makes me think of Dad's visits, and of the Florida Keys, where Wyland painted a
murial on a building by the waterfront.
