It is at the coast where horizons are infinite
and footprints few under a sky you can almost touch
that the sea, whatever its mood,
never fails to fill me with a sense of renewal.
“When you do dance, I wish you a wave of the sea, that you might ever do nothing but that”
William Shakespeare - The Winter’s Tale
On New Years Eve singing auld lang syne, you came into my heart.

I love that quotation even if Winter's Tale is not my favorite Shakespeare play. Your illustration is gorgeous and quite different than your normal style. Is this a new direction for the New Year? It's good to see you back at to blogging. I hope you are feeling much better. Happy New Year!
