Original artwork description:

This mixed media gouache painting shows dynamic dancers with bright bold colors and texture across the canvas surface. Its striking palette consists of reds, blues, and yellows and it will make a marvelous presence sure to enliven the room it graces. The title stuck when I was listening to the lyrics of some music while painting. I long for such joyous energy and am always sad maybe that their is no paradise.

A Certificate of Authenticity is included. This artwork is easily tacked with quality aluminum tacks on the wall or framed floating together in 30x36" frame.

Darren Jekel is an American full time professional artist with decades of experience. His work has been showcased in notable exhibitions and is part of several prominent collections. He has an MFA degree from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, in the United States.
