[ˈhalsēən]

ADJECTIVE

1. denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful.

I must say this is one of my favorites currently. This picture was taken from the shore of

Moorea island in the French Polynesia. I admit to a bit of an obsession with sailboats, they pop

up quite often in my art. The distressed blue of the sky and ocean just make this piece feel so

serene and makes me long for a boat of my own…someday.
