The Call of the Running Tide Painting

This acrylic on canvas painting "Call of the Running Tide" came to me slowly - I think it is all about time running out, seasons passing and the need to sieze the moment, " carpe diem". The title I used is from a poem I've always loved " Sea Fever " byJohn Masefield "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheels kick and the wind's song and the white sails shaking, And a grey mist on the seas face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gulls way and the whales way where the winds like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long tricks over."
