Patrice had us thinking about water, so blessedly abundant here in the Pacific Northwest.
 |
| In the neighborhood on Friday morning, rain clung to the delicate branches of this newly sprouted bush. |
|
 |
| Just the day before, this was the scene as Daughter and I took Flossy around Greenlake. |
 |
| Water-creatures were out basking. |
 |
| Public art seen along the Elliot Bay trail this blustery afternoon... |
 |
| ...ends up here, draining fresh water into the Bay. |
In many parts of the world,
water is in scare supply and some have to walk miles each day for enough of this precious stuff to survive.
I never take water for granted.
 |
| Being by water refreshes and restores serenity. |

'Water Works' - pencil and watercolor on 180 lb. cold press paper, about 6"x4"
Float on over to Patrice's always-refreshing blog for more water images from a myriad of marvelous artists participating in the drawing challenge this week.

a little psychedelic and a good appetizer to water, as is, your water colour.
ReplyDeletei sometimes miss big expanses of water closeby. but yeah, it is a luxury, even my wish to be closer to water is, because it is so obvious in my daily life.... n♥
Hey, I recognize that lake! I love when I see the turtles sunbathe at Greenlake. They always seem so content in the simple bliss of a sunny day. Love the water drawing!
ReplyDeleteOh my how I miss seeing turtles! Thanks for the wonderful photos of your lovely water filled part of the world. and I love your interpretation of water works!

P.S. I would have loved to have a microscope as a child unfortunately never had one. Its so amazing what one can see.
It's so true Sus how lucky we are to live in places where there is abundant water- and I agree it is revitalizing to be around on so many levels...your little picture is lovely I'm picturing it as a fountain that would be fun to visit :)

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your 'water'color painting, the 'R' is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteloved seeing your watery walk too ~ water is indeed precious!
Bear with me, I just have to say that 'drawing water' is a very bad pun! I do like your watercolor, though!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of public art, freely drawn and available to all ... so good!
