For Keeps

This little painting was part of the Pluid Project 2021.
It was inspired by this poem For Keeps by Joy Harjo.
Sun makes the day new.
Tiny green plants emerge from earth.
Birds are singing the sky into place.
There is nowhere else I want to be but here.

Like the sea itself...

'...the shore fascinates us who return to it, the place of our dim ancestral beginnings. In the recurrent rhythms of the tides and surf and in the varied life of the tides lines there is the obvious attraction of movement and change and beauty. There is also, I am convinced, a deeper fascination born of inner meaning and significance.'   Rachel Carson
