between the sky & the ocean

I am both terrified & enchanted by the ocean. To me it represents enormous lonesomeness and I am in awe of all those who connect with it and become one with it.
Because I live on the edge of the ocean, each day I contemplate the above, and so I tried with painting to convey these thoughts.

The parachute falls from the clouds with no other sign of human life around,- the plane long gone and the dark ocean devoid of ships or  boats. I imagine that someone jumping from a plane with a parachute toward the sea could only harbour enormous courage and an absolute belief that they would get back to land. I can only wish that I had such courage!
