drawing challenge: underwater








about half of the Netherlands lies below sea level
where I live it is about - 4 meters 

walking through the forest I get the feeling being underwater
all that fresh green
the spotty sunlight
....
I dive in 
and float

for more underwater world you go to Julia

drawing challenge: onder water

ongeveer de helft van Nederland ligt onder het zeeniveau
waar ik woon is het ongeveer - 4 meter

lopend door het bos krijg ik het gevoel onder water te zijn
al dat frisse groen
het vlekkerige zonlicht
....
ik duik onder
en zweef

voor meer onderwaterwereld ga je naar Julia

  3. Patrice my gosh this post is so rich in green. I feel literally immersed in it and it's so wonderful. Thank you for showing the map. It's remarkable to think about that body of water/land and what it is like there.
    Your drawing reminds me of a human mermaid swimming down. So great.

  13. Patrice, I didn't know that about the Netherlands! That's a lot of water. No wonder you feel like diving in and floating! We live 40 feet above sea level. I can almost feel the sea water surround me when I look at your drawing and I can hear the splash and the bubbles rising up. Nice!
