Rough Seas
I especially enjoyed painting d waves in this piece :-)
Lately, strong winds n rough seas have been hitting the region, causing boating n fishing on small boats to be really hazardous. It seems natural catastrophe has been making the news, including a series of strong earthquakes in Sumatera. Why is this happening all at the same time?
It is no small wonder that fish is scarce n expensive nowadays. Nobody wants to risk his life on turbulent ocean. I come from a family of fishermen (maternal side). Sometimes, even during such times, there's still a necessity to feed d family. My grandad used to go out fishing by himself, n the danger is that there will be no one to help him out if he fell off the boat. It didn't happen to him but it happened to my uncle - his body was later found a few days after the tragedy.
