A metaphor for hope.
The line, which divides the wet sand from the dry,
The violet from the green
Was a challenge for me to find.
After many tries I was satisfied and I stood back from the canvas
to find a profile there.
It is a profile of a person facing the rising sun.
I considered changing the line again, to eliminate any resemblance to a profile.
Then I realized this is part of “the magic” that takes place when one falls deeply into the creative process…
when time stops and my only thought is color and brush,
Composition and light.
The profile remains.
