Titled: "The Goose"

The Ocean Series - Acrylic On Canvas

"Like the empty sky it has no boundaries, yet it is right here in this place, ever present and clear. When you seek to know it, you cannot see it. You cannot take hold of it, but you cannot lose it. In not being able to get it, you get it. When you are silent, it speaks; when you speak, it is silent. The great gate is wide open to bestow alms, and no crowd is blocking the way." - Cheng-tao Ke This image is also available as an affordable signed poster, see http://www.theoceanseries.com/posters.html

Titled: "Et In Arcadia Ego"

The Ocean Series - Acrylic On Canvas

The late afternoons in Arcadia are never ending, where time comes to a standstill. The waves move but the pattern has no end, and the mind seizes on nothingness and holds it. The colors evoke a sense of all-enveloping warmth that reinforces the idea of finding the magic moment within. The time will come to step away from the picture, but it becomes embedded in the mind's eye. With a moment of stillness it will return, and the peace will return. The sadness is knowing that Arcadia is a place to visit, and that happiness by it's nature requires a contrast to give it value. That's why we can't stay there.
