The wind in the large
trees ignorant in
nocent of all harm
blue waves of rain
flail the sea.
by Tom Clark
from Distance.
The picture is titled "Out" or "Out of the Rain."
We have so much rain here most years, I prefer not to draw it.
But at least there's a tree, and a waveless sea. Oh well.

Nin,
That serene tree by that waveless sea are the best present I could have got after grumpily arising from (yet another) grim medical day.
A beautiful drawing, so very... is "classical" the word?
Many, many thanks!
(By the by, out here by the waving sea it's been steadily... you guessed it... raining.)
I look forward to getting this soon.
