How lovely, you seem to me to have encompassed so many different visual images that attract the eye and take your mind to places of comfort, strength and even premonition in my humble opinion of course! Congratulations from England.

Love this. It reminds me of the Oregon Coast on the west coast of the USA. The rocks in the see in this painting are more more larger than they are in Oregon. I’m sure they invoke the same feelings. Nicely done
