Ask Why The Sea Sings

Original, framed, semi-abstract seascape painting by Carolyn J Roberts

There’s a certain hush that comes from sitting on the shingle, listening to the sea’s soft refrain — the rhythmic sweep of waves, the shush and tumble of pebbles drawn back into the tide. It’s a sound full of secrets and stories, of lives lived along the water’s edge and traces washed away again.

Ask Why the Sea Sings captures that sense of ebb and flow — the pull between what is seen and what is lost. Painted in expressive layers of blue, grey, and sepia, it evokes the vast skies and tidal creeks, the shifting patterns of land and water, the quiet poetry of place.

Each delicate mark and flowing wash hints at footprints, flight paths, and whispered memories — fragments of the stories the sea might tell, if only we paused to listen.
