In light of recent tragic event in South East Asia...
You know, I'm not that fond of human beings as a race, we're fundamentally destructive creatures with an overblown notion that everything should bend to our will. But watching news coverage of the natural disaster in Asia leaves me full of sorrow and a theoretical empathy for all those people who have lost their loved ones, their families, their homes, their whole lives. All in a few brutal hours at the awesome hand of mother nature... I cannot even begin to comprehend what that must be like, to find your husband or wife, or your children missing or drowned in their beds, all your worldly belongings gone in a few seconds. And yet I see amazing footage of people risking their lives to save others, people giving everything they have to help those who have nothing. It gives me hope that one day the human race as a whole will realise what a blessing they have in this planet, and indeed, each other.
But my thoughts tonight are with all those thousands who lie in unmarked graves, with those who grieve for them, and with those who still do not know, and perhaps never will. It makes me truly thankful for all that I have.

Painter 8, wacom tablet, and quite astonishingly for me, about 3-4 hours work.
Love the colours of the waters and the style of the waves.

Thank you... I only hope it gives others a bit of a nudge as far as helping those people out. And I'm pleased you liked the waves, its the first time I've ever done seascape work.
It's beautiful, Zeph. I love the one that's touching the star. S/he looks entranced, as though he's not even aware of the fact that he no longer exists, or the pain that will be felt by others... Gorgeous, ing it muchly.

This gives me the chills... And it gains a whole new perspective after reading your comment.
You know, we found out on Christmas Eve about the tsunami, and then they said that there are "only" a few hundred killed. And then, by the hour, the number rose, and by now it's 55 thousand and a few thousand missing... It's tragic. Such thing happen all the time all around the world - just half a year or so ago a mud-slide in Venezuela wiped out over 40 thousand lives. It's terrible... But it's a part of living on this planet.
