Watercolor of OXYGEN
I have done a few more darks on the OXYGEN watercolor. The line melding the water with the figure reflection has been softened and deepened by deeper blues and grays. I want the painting to be evocative and mysterious-- rather than bright.
I still have work to do on the bubbles.. and several other areas to tweak. Those areas will be addressed in days to come.
So far... I like it.. and I like the concept and psychological message.
Perfect statement for this time of year!

Hi Carol. It IS a fascinating image. I'm curious - what is the psychological message?
This is just amazing! :)
the message is about coming up for air... in a very confusing world. the "oxygen" is our life blood... the sustaining force that carries us though. oxygen can also be a metaphor for love....
What a beautiful painting, Carol, and what a message, too :) LOVE IT!
Thank you Rhonda! I hope to finish the painting soon. I have been distracted with small works to get ready for open studio. hope you are painting!
