WE'RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT...

We’re Going To Need A Bigger Boat…

It’s rather like the tip of an iceberg:

What the fellow sees is perhaps an illusion,

For the viewer, through reflections and insight,

With the artist is in collusion…

The patient fisherman grips his rod,

The scavenger on the cabin menacingly waits;

The pet dog gazes with its head in the clouds

But the timing will determine their fates…

Will the small fish take the proffered bait?

Will the larger fish take it, in turn?

Will the shark-like predator snaffle the pair of them

And toss the small vessel hull over stern?

Saw Sasha Harding’s painting on display in Fowey and liked the humour, the concept and the colours…

Had to write what I thought…

Prints are available from the artist...
