Presented as a gift to my wife Phyllis, Passion Ascending presents a playful celebration of the love and passion I hold for both my wife and my art. With a dominance of subdued hues and tones, Passion Ascending could be mistakenly viewed as a melancholic piece. Not so, rather I chose an expressive interplay of symbols and colour; subtle in hue, varied in tone, and deliberate in intensity, to offer an introspective and reflective expression of both a love and passion, that did not merely survive the indifference of time, but were tempered in spite of it.
Passion Ascending is a meditation and celebration of the endurance of love and passion.
