Flooded Evergreens

Most of the time we worry about too little water in our lakes. In this scene, we see a lake that has overflowed its normal beach areas and the water has backed up into the evergreens. It's nice to pretend and dream that we have more fresh water than we know what to do with. This artwork was an exercise in wet-in-wet and was an experiment only. This was one of many little pieces done on a day I call "play day" where I just try to play with color, ink and textures.

I must say you've really succeeded in capturing the feel of "wateryness". I feel refreshed just looking at it.

This is lovely and "totally evocative" as Heather wrote and full of "wateryness" as waterbaby wrote,and as Sandra said, we hope your pretending comes true.

I hope you show us more "Play Days."

Thank you everyone for your comments. My "play days" often turn up interesting little paintings.
