This is a very beautiful piece. I adore the colors that you chose; blues and greens for her, infused with a little purple, to represent the sea, oranges, pinks, peaches, and reds for him to symbolize the land and sky. I ache seeing their sadness in an impossible love. I love your style as well! Amazing work!

Where will they live? Where the sea and land meet of course... 
"By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea.
You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be..."
I love your picture. Your interpretation is just so wonderful. The concept is so simple and perfect.
Lovely, just lovely.

I know where they can live: The bird in a nest on the bank of a pond and the fish in a bromeliad (not sure I spelled that right) flower.
