From the "Starart" book http://www.jmdl.com/articles/docs/79starart.cfm :
The painting is titled "The Mountain Loves The Sea" (1971, water color,
10=" x 14".)
Joni writes: "'The Mountain Loves The Sea,' which became the album cover
for 'Court and Spark', was done on my land in Vancouver. It was done in a
moment of whimsy. It's a metaphor for the way the waves met up with the
mountain; the way they embraced one another."
