“I’d like to be under the sea in an
octopus’s garden in the shade.” 

— The Beatles

The calm and relaxing atmosphere of aquariums always fascinated me. Standing there and finding peace, watching this unique other world is something I never tire of.

“Ah, summer – that long-anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends.”

Cooking during holidays with local food is a great delight for me. And grilled shrimps are always a good idea, aren’t they?

So a quick sketch while they bath in olive oil, garlic and lemon slices, with a hint of chili. 🌶️

your eyes, a sea of endless blue

reflect the depths of skies anew

a gentle breeze, a whispered sigh

as memories dance and quickly fly

the waves of thoughts, they softly crash

against the shores of where you dash

with every glance, a hidden shore

where secrets lie and I explore

the sea in your eyes

your longing for more

let me be your coastline

your safest harbour 

at the roughest shore

“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,

For I would ride with you upon the wind,

Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,

And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

― William Butler Yeats, The Land of Heart's Desire

That's my version of John Singer Sargent's portrait in charcoal of William Butler Yeats. Again I've used the 12 color-set from Rockwell Canada. They dry a bit pale, but the color range and the granulation is wonderful.
