Description
Still at Skookumchuck Narrows, where starfish of various colors could be spotted along the shore. This one was wedged into a narrow channel formed by rocks covered with barnacles...

When I first saw this (when it went up) I thought the starfish was painted on the rocks, or perhaps this was a graphic of some sort. Your hues are so vivid and clear that the starfish seems part of the whole 'design', and it took me a minute to realize that it was a living moving creature. Very vivid view of this "slice of life". You sliced it diagonally too ("cutting against the bias," I think they call it in clothes-making), and gave us a center and two framing swaths. The center is darker, and that blue---man, what a deep blue! The starfish's reddish hues are great contrast to that blue---it's as if you spoke to it before hand and asked it to please pose for you right there. And the 2 "frames"---ie, on either side---are filled with life and energies and several layers. And you've made a kind of sandwich of all these lives. Still---this happens in a number of your vivid pieces---there's a tranquility to all this, a balance in it all; so it feels oddly peaceful in the midst of all this activity...More scintillating exploration from you, Claude.

I grew up with 6 and 8 leg starfish - I think that this fellow has more than a dozen!
