Rising Seas - After the Deluge... New painting by Tatiana Iliina "The Tempest"

"The Tempest," by Tatiana Iliina, 24" x 36" acrylic on canvas

"...Boats. Work you, then.

Ant. Hang, cur! hang, you whoreson, insolent noise-maker. We are less afraid to be drowned than thou art.

Gon. I’ll warrant him for drowning; though the ship were no stronger than a nutshell, and as leaky as an unstanched 45 wench.

Boats. Lay her a-hold, a-hold! set her two courses off to sea again; lay her off.

Enter Mariners wet

Mariners. All lost! to prayers, to prayers! all lost!..."

-Wm. Shakespeare, The Tempest

After the Deluge - Tatiana Iliina's rising seas series continues with new painting, "Salvage"

Water is good. Clean water, be it salt or fresh, is something so fundamental to life that one need not even consider what things would be like without water.

But, what if there were too much water?

Many places in the world are thinking seriously about that very problem right now. Places like the Maldives, the Netherlands, Bangladesh - all the low-lying parts of the world.

This is the problem that Tatiana Iliina addresses in this series of fine art impressionist paintings, entitled, "After the Deluge".



This one is called "Salvage". One of several in the series.
