Accompaning my artwork
“ The Deep Blue”
Inspired by The Ocean

…………….Colors…….of the water …..the main element of our ocean …..the water, source of life , is
all what we have around us.
The foam of the giants waves
The song of the blue whales
The strength of the powerful wind
The sparkle of the many beings
The rage of the storm is wild
The sun that is strong and blinds
The enchanting voice of the gold mermaids
The Moon that is high and hides
