They longed for their old homes of stone and the peach trees that shaded the back yards. An ultimatum was put to the men, all the women will sail back home! The men thought that this was amusing, since the women had no sail. The women declared that they would use the Sunday dresses of the plump, with the side seams undone and it will catch the wind in its ample hips and sail them swiftly home.

Artist: Elmari Steyn VE of 4 Print size: irregular Paper size: 56(h) x 38(w)cm Framed Size: 66(h) x 48(w)cm Medium: multiplate etching, aquatint and chine-collé, hand colouring with 23k gold leaf Price: $1,000 unframed Artist's statement Startled by the sudden piercing calls of gulls, the tallest of the trees saw them first. The ocean calm, slowly drifting closer in a cloud of light. The old tree seemed so much taller, even prouder, with remnants of the exquisite vine held safely high in his branches. The boat they barely recognise, now a deep red, its prow still slender but new tentative young buds growing out. The boat has found its heart of fire. -

Exhausted by the long journey and rough ocean, the boat simply fell asleep. The cold current collapsed in shallow puddles and the fish declared he needed the deep to sleep. The tree felt restless, a bit itchy but deep into the starless night, he drifted off. He woke with a start as the first shaft of light broke through the fog. It touched his branches; the warmth sent a shiver down his trunk and woke the boat. They were floating in light. An exquisite vine had sprouted in the hollows of the tree, in full bloom, clouds of golden pollen drifted in the early morning light. -

Wind-blown, tired and covered in flotsam and kelp, the cold current pushed the boat into a quiet cove. High on the rocks stood a stunted tree, branches broken and barely alive. The sapling next to him, he said was his daughter, strong and colourful, like her mother. She held the tired boat firmly while the two old trees discussed the absence of sunshine. Their murmurings were overheard by a large fish residing in the deep. Gliding gracefully to the surface, the fish said he is called the Wanderer, he knew where to find the sun and how to return the light. He had swum all the oceans known to man and fish. He would gladly show them the way, but oceans are wild and greedy, and they need to travel light and fast. The old tree then called upon the gulls to clear his head and lighten the boat. -
