Lure (of the ocean)

The sun was out yesterday and I was able to get a better photo of this: 24x36", acrylic on canvas.

What is it about the ocean? Endlessly facinating for many and mysterious. It covers 71 per cent of the planet and is essential for life. But nobody knows where it came from! The theory is the earth formed hot and dry. Then way a long time ago, billions of years, this water showed up. One theory has millions of comets bringing it here. Another notes that meteorites have 5% water locked up inside. They don't really know. Another interesting fact: That granite she is standing on is much lighter than basalt the difference being on the order of that between air and water. That's why the granite crust floats on top.
