Happy series and the concept of dedication

This has been an exciting day.  We got to hear a family member play a magnificent
concert, and recite some beautiful poems, perfectly matched to the musical compositions
that followed each poem.A large number of family members and fans gathered to
appreciate the concert.  The dedication involved in putting such an event together with
one person on the stage, got me thinking about what would be an equal level of devotion
in visible art.

And I thought perhaps my ocean series required some deep devotion. That was about
saving the ocean, and I hope we still can.  The series showed people set against their
favourite ocean destinations, and they were joined by the band of sand behind the
person in each portrait.This is one I love, (I love all of them) and it hangs in my studio
at the moment.

Have a loving your life day.
