Sky, Sun, Sea, My Companions

I captured the scene of a ship making its way through relatively calm water. The sun did not have its dominant spot in the sky, having to peer through thick clouds to watch over everything in its glare. 

The mood this painting portrays is best read in the poem as follows:

The afternoon sun lingers

Clouds drift by to caress

Ship sails on wait no longer

Her errands allow no rest

The sea shimmers & sparkles

No land & birds being on sight

Far out at sea ship struggles

Keeping schedule ever tight
