Now two table tops that remind me of water, which is no bad thing. I like this painting and I'm intrigued by this new element in your work

I feel this is a nod to the surrealism discussion elsewhere on the forum.
Also, it brings to mind (a portion of) a certain Mervyn Peake poem:
A freckled and frivolous cake there was,
that sailed on a pointless sea,
or any lugubrious lake there was
in a manner emphatic and free.
How jointlessly, and how jointlessly
the frivolous cake sailed by
On the waves of the oceans that pointlessly
threw fish to the lilac sky.
