The Old Man Sees

Originally titled Old Man and the Sea this painting kept speaking to me that it needed a storyline that was more poetic. Initially the title was a comment on the old dead cypress husk as it stood watch over the Monterey Coast. No longer full of growth and majesty its silhouette still was magnificent. It needed more storyline and the male seagulls chasing the female closes the circle of life . There was death but there is also rebirth and the continuance of Life.
