Streetable #9

The sea has always
whispered to me,
all down my life
it's been there.
And with that endless
restlessness
come other sounds—
seagulls shrieking
and mast wires clinking
as boats shift;
pebbles turning
and waves 
tapping sea-worn rocks.

WOW! So much depth and sparkle! I want to pick up these gems and feel their shapes! So tactile!

I also LOVE the original.... I doubt if it were mine if I would touch it!

Carol, lovin' your feedback re depth, sparkle, shape, tactility. yay! thanks!

Fun that you added this second comment—I really liked the original also and was tempted not to touch it but was pulled to make it less flat and to give it more contrast and focus. Very challenging for me to know where/how to begin and how to accomplish those goals.

ooooooh WOW!Gurry is GORGEOUS! I can see it as a full-sized, maddeningly large canvas that makes a room SING! Really, truly - STUNNING!
