FOUR STRONG WINDS
© 2008 Patricia Gould

In addition to being inspired by landscapes that I photograph, I have favorite song titles and lyrics that
influence my direction. Sometimes I don’t name a work until it’s finished and then I let it speak its name to me
and that was the case with this one. As I spent time immersed in the finished scene of the Oregon coast, the
song “Four Strong Winds” kept popping into my head so I knew that was what it wanted to be. “Four strong
winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high; all these things that don’t change, come what may.”
