After Another Mainland Storm




After Another Mainland Storm

Damaged on the mainland,
always the mainland,
another,
from a cruel
senseless storm.


Another early morning search to remember an already fading dream.
Islands Off Solitude

    1. Yes, the character on the ground, a victim from the cruelty inflicted by the mainland, now washed up on the islands, becoming part of the shore…

  3. Damage to the Mainland is unfortunate, but there are the islands off Solitudes, oh no what if it would make them move to the islands the Mainland had to be repaired at all cost, don't scare me like that Anthony ;)

    1. Not damage to the mainland. Damaged by the mainland… the victims of the mainland cruelty the storms caused. It is these victims, searching for peace, and solitude.

  4. So vividly atmospheric...the sense of devastation wrought by a violent storm...the victim lies almost unrecognizable on the shore, far from the sanctuary of the Islands...

    1. Thank you.. though it is in the islands such victims are welcome as they wash up, to form part of the islands shore.. I know, confusing☺

  5. Very dramatic drawing with such varied lines - along with your words, it makes me go back and look again - really a thoughtful piece!
