Another painting from the current Different Strokes reference photo.
I thought I might call it "Neither Out Far, Nor In Deep," a play on the Frost poem:

The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.

As long as it takes to pass
A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull.

The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be---
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.

They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?


I just want to thank and acknowledge Mineke and Rhonda, both of whom have recently passed along the Passion for Painting award to me. Thank you both very much for thinking of me!
Like other blogging awards acceptance entails paying it forward and linking to other art bloggers; I'm working on my acceptance post and hope to have it up soon!
