Quite an imagination you have there Bruce. Looks like a lot of work and planning went into this.

Agree with Gary. When my eye accepts something with such disparate parts as fine art ,I try to find the uniting element.
In this case I think it is the grain figure and piercings emulating the sea horse segments. Love the provision for instant refill, Neptune does not like to wait for more!
