Artist's Comments

I'm typing with my tablet, Chancer, since my left arm is currently in a sling.

"When I think of my life, I think of myself in a tiny boat on a vast, stormy ocean. All I have with me are a set of oars and a small lamp on a helm. I am hit with wave after wave, hour after hour. Sometimes it rains and the wind is at an unbearable pitch. It is often cold and miserable and only once or twice do stars peek out through a swirling, dark sky.
Even though I often feel afraid on this ocean, far in the distance, I know that there is land, with a light to guide me there, to home. With the waves I often cannot see that beacon of light, but I know it is there.
My lantern on my boat gives me light, guidance, comfort and hope. If I let water get into it, it will go out. But by being courageous I can protect my lamp and ride over the waves, or ride through them.
On this ocean, I know there are many others riding through the darkness on boats of their own. Some people row together. Some bear lanterns. Others don't. But even if people fall out of their boats from the storm, there is always someone there to pull them aboard-- if they're seeking for that help.
Sometimes I wish a certain special someone would row with me, that we might make it to the land, to safety, with our lanterns, together.

That's a very beautiful metaphor. Hope your arm gets better, and great job on the piece, the waves especially!

:boogie: Thanks! I realized, after doing this, that there are no ocean-esque scenes in my gallery; this is a first! :aww:
