Lovely Is the Water's Edge

Lovely is the water's edge as it moves out to sea and back in again.
The white foamy waves cascade over the people as they come to shore.
There is a delight that is seen on the face of Raul, the painter.
He is watching the huge waves splash a torrent of power as they come to shore.
Capturing this on canvas is his idea of a new piece called Serene.
The people who asks him to paint were some wealthy men who wanted to capture the power of the water.
Through the efforts of Raul the painting went on the market.
It sold for one hundred thousand dollars by a curator of a museum.
Hanging upon the wall of the museum is this painting today.
Captured were the fishermen upon the pier adjacent to the beach.
The seagulls as they flew over Raul were also captured.
The sand dunes with their sea oats glistened a silvery color.
The blue sky blanketed the portrait of course with the white clouds.
There is a ship outside the area that was captured.
Happiness is clearly seen on the faces of the people he painted.
