The Gentle Embrace
The gentle embrace of a wave as it flows and encompasses any obstacles in it’s path whatever the shape. It envelops the object in a warm soft cuddle as if to say, I am here to hold and care for you… Like the love of a mother for a son or daughter.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. Bruce Lee
This painting was requested from South African Artist Marlene Dickerson (Marls) as a gift for the daughter of a friend in Umhlanga Rocks, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

Nothing is weaker than water,
But when it attacks something hard
Or resistant, then nothing withstands it,
And nothing will alter its way.
Lao Tzu
