Story / Additional InfoThe artist painted this picture after the loss of her husband, but found that at the ocean she very much felt his presence. The figure behind the red one could be his, a ghostly one. She had another after death encounter with him and felt his spirit very strongly at these times. This is the artist's story, but she likes for viewers to create their own story according to their response to the work and invites other ways of interpreting this painting. The figure is red because it is in a receptive spiritual state with an otherworldly presence. The sun is setting and the mood is meditative and serene.
