Tenacity

Picture


The inspiration for this painting was from a walk along the beach in Newport, OR where the landscape is constantly changing due to natural erosion.  I saw the analogy with the later years of life when we are tenaciously hanging on, and those who have gone before us lie below (the driftwood).
