It has a wonderful effect, exactly like at the shore, when the light plays with the water and sand, and you get this dreamy, beautiful light effect. Beautiful work!<br />Nice poem, too - works greatly with the painting, there's the same mix of humor, beauty and light in the two of them.kazumiwannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314259816204251753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-85768721253452240172010-06-12T01:39:52.787-04:002010-06-12T01:39:52.787-04:00Dear Dan,

I have only heard snippets here and there about the oil and all the chaos and disaster it has created, but to read what you have written has really touched my heart! I am in Canada so I haven't experienced the effects of it like you. Your art is beautiful. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me.<br />I am greatful you added your link to the artist blog hop so that I could be forwarded to your blog and this post today.

(I hope they would be even if we'd never been here, but it is a different sorrow when you know and love the places.) It was good to read what you said -- and your pictures are beautiful. <br />It sometimes seems superficial to share the beauty of our world at a time like this. But the challenge you mention makes me realize that we need to celebrate our area as we hope for a solution.Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-19821937258367100372010-06-07T01:57:03.848-04:002010-06-07T01:57:03.848-04:00Great shadow shot!
