There is a stillness here.... Tom, this piece breathes with the peaceful movement of the sea in its most gentle mood.

My brother is a very fine landscape painter and he gave me a seascape in response to a poem I wrote for him. His control of tone is outstanding. If you would like to see some of his work go to Jim Billsborough on the internet.

I took up the pen rather than the brush, and often wonder what would have happened if I did the opposite. Do you paint, Tom?
