“Dive”

My piece for @docholligay’s February Same Prompt Party!

The theme was Ami + Love and Other Four Letter Words. Love is not a person here so much as it’s a thing, a place, a feeling. I wanted to channel the quiet and the freedom of swimming and what a wonderful relief that would be to someone under SO much pressure all of the time.

Not gonna lie, I’m real proud of this one! I had half a mind to do something abstract and blue for the background because Water Is Hard To Draw, No Seriously. But I wanted to give this a solid try before taking the easy route and I’m really glad I did. Those water shadows make me real happy 🙂
