stonelines

This is the first of several stone line sketches. This one was 100 cobbles in a row with a lone cobble set off to the surf side part way down the line. I lined them up on the edge of the surf and I wanted to watch as the water washed over it and realigned it, but right about the time I finished, the surf died down and the line remained unmolested. Despite the fact that the row of stones wasn't very long it had a lengthier feel to it. The way the light was coming in that morning, hitting the water, it made the organic edge of the surfline seem more substantial and the relationship between the kinetic line of water and the static line of stones was enjoyable to watch. Nature's calligraphy...especially noticeable in the picture second from the top....Thanks for stopping by Jonathan S.
