It’s not just the image, but what it conjures up in ideas and words. This feels carved, etched, carefully inscribed. The shadows and the the richness of the reddish-brown provide depth. The plane feels tilted and you can feel yourself climbing up the beach, just as the waves did to leave this pattern in their wake as they withdrew. With-drew. Would that I could draw so gracefully!
You see flowers, I see birds. A truly wonderful picture, even if we didn’t see anything particular except the shapes, colors and textures themselves.
