Pablo Neruda wrote, ‘I need the sea because it teaches me.’
It’s true, you can’t go down or out to sea without discovering something either about the world or yourself.

Painting on the Clyde. Good day for dog walking.

For we have thought the longer thoughts
And gone the shorter way.
And we have danced to devils' tunes, Shivering home to pray;
To serve one master in the night,
Another in the day.
Hemingway,
Back in the studio the sky burns blue- the boats spars get varnished & spring beckons.
We fish, we fish, we merrily swim,
We care not for friend nor for foe.
Our fins are stout,
Our tails are out,
As through the seas we go.
Melville
Development work going towards a new piece. Man it’s cold in the studio!

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.”
― E.E. Cummings
Studio Day today. I did a Glasgow Art run yesterday so new brushes & paint to play with. Tea made, radio on and Finn the dog asleep. Happy Days.

J.R.R. Tolkien said you should “Never laugh at live dragons.” This seadragon isn't so fearsome though.
Wishing you all a Happy Easter Weekend. I hope you find yourself somewhere wild with someone you care about.

I saw the long line of the vacant shore,
The sea-weed and the shells upon the sand,
And the brown rocks left bare on every hand,
As if the ebbing tide would flow no more.
Longfellow
Hoping these words from Longfellow sets you up for the day.

Stormy weather washes the most bizarre and pretty creatures into the studio.

Back in the studio with oils, tea and the radio. A crisp day with blue skies but not in the studio!
