This
was
a
co·mmi·ssion· ,
the
pain·ting·
was
to
be
pre·sen·ted·
as
a
gift
to
a
la·dy·
in
the
last
sta·ges·
of ^
can·cer· .
Port
Wi·llun·ga·
beach ,
was
for
her ,
as
it
is
for
me ,
a
place
of ^
great-spi·ri·tu·al·
sig·ni·fi·cance· .
I
sought ^
to
de·pict·
still·ness·
and
se·re·ni·ty·
and
u·ni·ty· .
I
stretched
the
curve
of ^
the
tide
and
the
curve
of ^
the
cliffs
so
they ^
would ^
seem
to
pull
a·gainst· ^
each
o·ther· ^.
I
re·pea·ted·
that
curve
in
the
clouds .
Thus ,
the
eye
is
led
to
rest
in
the
cen·tral·
point
of ^
ho·li·ness·
-
the
beach .
The
old
bro·ken·
down
je·tty·
tells
of ^
the
pa·ssing·
of ^
time
and
it
al·so·
pro·vides·
a
fo·cal·
point
for
the
eye .
