My new ocean paintings

You’ve never seen the ocean? Don’t you know what happens when you get to heaven? In heaven, all they talk about is the ocean. How gorgeously beautiful it is. And all the sunsets that they saw. How you could feel the sun lose its strength. And how the cool water splashed forward and the only fire left was the fire in their souls. And you? You can’t say a thing, because you’ve never been there. Up there, you’ll be nothing but a fucked-up outsider… (Knockin’ on the heaven’s door)
