"Safely Ashore" (Private Collection)

No matter how rough the seas or stormy the skies, eventually... one way or another... we all end up safely ashore. Even if that means six feet under.

This painting, with the contrasting lights and darks, was EXTREMELY hard to photograph. I try not to say this too often, because it sounds like making excuses for poor art, but even the pic I selected for this post doesn't do the painting justice. You'll just have to see it in person at the collector's home the next time you're in Brighton, Michigan. ; )

Thanks, Terry, for the amazing source image!
