Christopher Clark, fine artist - Only Us

This piece was inspired by a trip with Alison to Okinawa, Japan last April. We had just left a small pottery store to pick up some pottery we had made the week before. We were making the long walk back through an endless sugar cane field, and it occured to me that if we stood still and remained silent, the only sounds were the rustle of the sugar cane blowing with the sea breeze, and the faint crashing of waves in the distance. There was not another person for miles, no cars in sight or earshot, no radios, no TVs. It's a very rare occasion when you get to enjoy the presence of the one you love in such a simple and perfect atmosphere. It makes me wish I was surrounded by such simplicity more often.
