Joan Eardley, Grey Seascape with Black Boat, Catterline.
Living in a place surrounded by hills and mountains, I long for seascapes. But not just of any sea. A flat expanse of water would not do. What I'd like is to be in a #JoanEardley painting made of sea, sky, water, where boundaries are blurred, and human presence is but a boat abandoned on a beach.
