The Pacific: The Sea

Above are details of below,
The full Courbet,
The full Carmel,
Or Balbec waters,
At Redondo?

Acrylic on canvas, 3-5 August 2007, 7x14 inches.

But before all this I had drawn back my own curtains, impatient to know what Sea it was that was playing that morning by the shore, like a Nereid. For none of those Seas ever stayed with us longer than a day. The next day there would be another, which sometimes resembled its predecessor. But I never saw the same one twice.
