"Telling Fish Tales," reduction linocut, © Sherrie York |
It's been rainy the last couple of days here in midcoast Maine. The mainland vegetation is lush and green, but the sea reflects the overcast skies and the world seems a little muted. The ochre and rust of seaweed and the grays of granite ledges dominate the palette in Muscongus Bay.
While the humans scurry about in wellies and rain jackets, the animals carry on with business as usual. Cormorants, comfortable in or out of the water, congregate on rocky ledges. Who knows what information they may share with each other at times like this, but I like to imagine the bird in the center talking about the fish that got away. "It was THIS BIG."
Hahaha. Thanks for this snapshot in words. Your print captures it so well.
ReplyDelete:-) Thanks, Wendy! It's fun to look through some of my pieces and think about the stories then and now that go with them.
