Land becomes sea. Sea becomes sky. And the most transient form of land by the sea is called living cliff.

My intention was to present this as a pleasing color composition.

Thus everything that takes place in sea and sky consists of one and the same color. The only difference is the brush stroke with a thick paint application. Depending on the incidence of light, this becomes clear or connects completely to a dark blue unit, from which the cliff rises even more sharply.

A living cliff is a cliff, which erodes. By contrast, the dead cliff hardly changes, which is why a vegetation cover can be formed as a visible sign of life.

I am delighted if you are pleased with how I have kept the transience in imperishability in other words in a painting.
