Painting inspired by to long a night at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in Key West.  "Parrothead" is a nickname for myself and all the other  fans of Jimmy Buffet. The Jimmy Buffet music has touched the lives of millions around the world, spanning generations and genres.

Our general theme is relaxation even while working... In 2009 there were 273 chapters of Parrothead Clubs in the United States. (with $19 Million raised to support charitable organizations)
Parrotheads in Paradise, Inc (not for profit corporation)  is a network of Parrothead International Clubs working as a humanitarian network sharing information for mutual benefit.  Activities carried out are  charitable, educational, and promote the general welfare of the community. (while providing a variety of social activities for people who are interested in Jimmy Buffet and the tropical lifestyle he personifies.
 
Margaritaville represents true escapism - a state of mind.  Life is never a well conceived voyage but rather a wonderful voyage that we make up as we go along. Spending large amounts of time in Key West helps me to keep the  Margaritaville spirit  alive in my heart no matter where I  happen to be painting.   Beach music is a wonderful way of maintaining a Margaritaville state of mind.
