72” x 48” Venetian plaster on canvas painting of a landscape with the sea in the distance and a poem by the artist embedded into the texture.
“The sea calls us back 
(as if we would leave, 
were it not for the calendar day)
Her cadence of waves,
a rustle of grass,
and an inkling that brought us
this way.
She whispers, 
(in not so many words)
‘I think you did okay.’”
