In "Celebrate the Sun," a powerful demonstration of Wyland's ability to combine realism and abstract backgrounds, the artist invites the viewer to make their own conclusions about the importance of the next generation in the environmental healh of our planet. "We've spent years trying to save whales," Wyland says, "And for the most part mankind has succeeded. But to ensure the suvival of these gentle giants, we have to protect the habitat they share with all other creatures. Taken by itself, the painting has all the elements of a beautiful sunset, but in a larger context of our planet, it also gives people an opportunity to think."
