Between two Seas Painting

A Sonnet between Two Seas (by Swinburne) Between two seas the sea-bird’s wing makes halt, Wind-weary; while with lifting head he waits For what may come of glory through the gates That open still toward sunrise on the vault High-domed of morning, and in flight’s default With spreading sense of flight anticipates What new sea now may lure beyond the straits, His wings exulting that her winds exalt And fill them full as sails to seaward spread, Fulfilled with fair speed’s promise. Pass, my song, Forth to the haven of thy desire and dread, The presence of our lord, long loved and long Far off above beholden, who to thee Was as light kindling all a windy sea. The ocean has always played a great role I my life. It sometimes feels to me like the ocean is matching her emotions to mine. This peaceful early morning scene feels to me like waking up in the morning after a night of restless sleep and nightmares. Awaking to a new morning with embers of hope, joy and peace starting to kindle with the sunrise light. I used oil paint in a more impesto style that usual on this canvas. This piece is stretched (on a timber frame) without a decorative frame and will need the necessary hanging hardware (hooks etc) to be implemented into the stretched canvas. I generally ship in a rolled up format (without the timber frame) to keep the shipping costs down, however if you prefer I can offer a quote for shipping in a crate.
