James Coleman - Peter Pan - Moonrise Over Pirate's Cove

"In this painting, 'Moonrise Over Pirate's Cove', I took the opportunity to explore a place in my heart so often forgotten - the world of eternal youth where one can truly believe again and where a youthful heart is never lost. The awesome sight of Captain Hook's ship, sitting at anchor in a cove rich with the beauty of a tropical paradise, fills one with the sense of adventure as a pale moon rises above emerald cliffs laced with lazy clouds and glistening waterfalls. Peter Pan, Wendy and the Lost boys fly over this scene, as if in a dream, soaring high above danger. The warm lamplight from the pirate ship draws us closer. The sparkling water of a perfect lagoon invites us to become part of a world lost in our childhood memories. As we participate in this Never-Never-Land world, we realize that the innocence of youth is found in each heart, and if we dare to believe, this spirit of innocence and youth will be with us always." - James Coleman
