turbulent sea

small boat
i just re-discovered this painting because my dear sister asked me for art for her new office! yeah for new offices and fresh starts! congrats jesse!

i illustrated it for my friend's on-line literary journal, but ultimately chickened out in submitting it. it was for this poem.

it's interesting looking at it again and liking it, but also reading the words- tsunami- and realizing that i was a bit prophetic? i did this right before x-mas and the tsunami. yikes!

Very lovely, Mati! You're very talented! And yes, after school gets out for the semester we need to get together and make lots of stuff!

THANK YOU! I feel a bit sheepish for all the rampant insecurities these days! I'll try to squash the doubts.
