Artist Commentary: Inspired by our ocean-I wrote this poem to explain the painting: Coral Blossom this I know, A star you are, an ocean show, Light from above shines down on you, Your colors bright in ocean blue, Your stage is set for all your fans, Creatures of the ocean lands, Come far and wide to see your act, As you watch how they react, In darkness you wait, light is your cue, All eyes of starfish are on you, The envy of all who watch you flower, It is your time, it is your hour
