Illustration Friday: Soaked



The sea heals me.
It nourishes my soul.
Soaked in its essence I become peaceful once more.
Everything is as it should be.♥

acrylic on a tiny 12"x4" canvas which will be sent to a friend who has had a tragic loss.
Painted for Illustration Friday's prompt: soaked

    How like YOU, dear BS, to capture a lovely memory and then present it to someone who needs it.

    I can almost hear the swell of the waves and I can remember what it felt to be buoyed up by water like that....

    It's beautiful!!!!!!

    Love,

    ♥ LS ♥
