An Ocean State of Mind
The Portsmouth Arts Guild invites you to enter our "An Ocean State of Mind" Exhibit.
An "ocean state of mind" is to be inspired by our oceans and seas. What do you see when inspired by the ocean? Is it calm and peaceful or wild and turbulent? Do you envision the water itself or do you dream of the rugged coastlines or sandy beaches? Maybe you are drawn to the sea life swimming below or the boats sailing above. An "ocean state of mind" provides limitless opportunities for creativity. Feel free to interpret this theme in you own creative way! All entries will be accepted and displayed.
