Drowning!








Today I decided to see how the tide would affect my paintings. Watch me drown. Please send any photos anyone took to bertie@rock.com so I can put them up, I would be so happy as my camera was rubbish plus its just great to see people getting involved! Thanks people, love you all

    1. Really? It may have been under the water at the time, what sort of time was it? Thanks for the interest anyway!

    There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

    William Shakespeare - Julius Caesar

    "Very well. Sea, I command you to come no further! Waves, stop your rolling!. Surf, stop your pounding! Do not dare touch my feet!"

    King Cnut
