Outside of Paradise

The entrance of a club

Comment from Christine389


I'll tell you a true story. Yesterday I looked at this and I thought umm, I'm not sure I like the writing. I really like everything else about it but I won't review because I don't want to say anything negative, it's just my preference after all. Then a couple of hours later, I was out walking my dogs and my mind was wandering and I found myself thinking about this particular piece of art. I was thinking all sorts - like what if these people are all waiting to die? Or are they dead but they're waiting to get into paradise, maybe they're stuck in hell? Or maybe they are just waiting to get into a nightclub? Haha. So, from all this I conclude that this is a great piece of art. It made me think. It came back and revisited my thoughts. It provoked a thought process and it's going to have to take 6 stars for that very reason!

    Thank you for your wonderful review and rating Christine. So I got you thinking. I must confess, this provoked a lot of thoughts, as I was painting it. When I was younger I frequented many a disco in NYC, I love both dancing and feeling the beat of the music and watching the crowd of my peers. To me it was like being in paradise with people like me all hopping and bopping together in our own exotic world, just letting loose. Here's a little secret, I included a selfie of myself, dead center. I am happy that enjoyed my work. I didn't like the sign either. Ray

Very different and while abstract it's very detailed. You can obviously make out the scene you are portraying. The colors are really vibrant. As always, wonderful work. Thanks for sharing.

You do wonder what sort of club these people are waiting to enter the sort of strange dress sense you have conveyed Ray makes me wonder,but it does go to make an interesting scene...Brian

Great painting of people waiting to entry the club where they will mingle and entertain each other.
Very clear details even with the abstract presentation and the lively colors are just perfect. Ray, thank for sharing.

Hi Ray, This does appear as something one would see outside a club. I like the motley bunch of characters yo created. It's fun just gazing around to see who is waiting to get in. I think the colors create a nice atmosphere of the mood of the place. Nicely Done My Friend! :o) Nancy

A good looking image presented here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition suggests to me that there are some people out there waiting to get into paradise? Colours, textures and tones are good. Nicely painted!

Colourful abstract artworks encourage viewers to take a closer look and discover hidden details and meanings within the composition.This is an interesting interplay of colours and shapes. Thanks for sharing!
