Facing South


The sea snails that have attached themselves to the rocks with their houses.


They can be seen at low tide when the rocks are exposed.
And they are waiting for the tide to push in.


 LOOK SOUTH !
Face SOUTH!

SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL

I saw blood red roses on a soft green background, broken by by white lines.
I SAW SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL.


If this was my painting, my own piece of art, done on canvas I would have come a step closer to achieving my life's purpose and goal.
But this painting is in the water. It has been done by different life-forms of the ocean. And it is intended to be perishable. Artists have started to create perishable art. Art that is created for a certain exhibition, shown to the public and then destroyed. 
Following nature's example? 


Small sea nails have decided to crawl a slippery stone covered with green and red algae lying in a rock pool, the surface powdered with a thin layer of white sand, leaving their traces.


Thereby creating a net of interconnected lines looking like a hidden message.


And when they have completed the painting a new piece of work will be started. To be destroyed again.
