Pine Sap Sea Stack

Original Art. Watercolor and ink on cotton. Painting 6” x 8”
Frame 12” x 14”
What exactly is a "Pine Sap Sea Stack?"  Have you ever been to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, or at least seen photos of the coastline?  Have you ever seen those big rocks the jut out of the water or the ocean?  Have you ever  seen them when they are covered in trees and vegetation?  Have you ever seen one that has freshly beat up and broken pine trees, that just ooze sap down the bark, onto the ground, dribbling lower and lower on the rocks, crystalizing as it finally starts to hit the water.  It's like that.   
 
But it's abstract.  The meaning is not in what I see.  It's about what you think, or rather how we think about it differently.  Colors, shapes, tones and lines effect us individually.  Abstraction is a solitary experience, not a collective one.
