Last Glimpse, 8" x 10", Maura Fox
Sunset at Moonstone Beach, Cambria, California.
Endless Sea, 6" x 6", Maura Fox
View from a sailboat becalmed at sea, in the tropical doldrums. I was inspired by a verse from the poem; "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
"Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship, Upon a painted ocean."
This painting is an ambigram. You can view it upside down.

Enigma, 8" x 10", Maura Fox
Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailor's warning
This is an ancient mariner's rhyme. The scene is a red sky over the reflective sea. You pick the time of day... The ancient "red sky" weather concept is also found at Matthew 16:2b-3 of the New Testament.
