This Tropical Mosaic Paradise diptych will probably be the last in the series. It was the first horizontal diptych I had done in this series, after having painted seven in a vertical format. I especially enjoyed the color connections of upper top clouds to middle clouds, to lower sand. Tropical beaches lead to beach paintings.

The sailboat Regatta was a break from painting larger individual sailboats, and the dominating large island of Tropical Mosaic VIII was a change from the other seven as well. The Scrollwork was another unique addition in the two works. Both these Originals hang in our living room. At this time, I can think of no better home for them.
