Depth (#1)
I'm having this strange feeling. I always start a drawing without knowing what to draw--began doodling.....then suddenly an idea will come out and my hand seems to know where to go*LOL* My illustration today means so much to me....I will write something about it later. For the meantime please let me know what you think about it.
It would be nice to hear some more comments and I would like to thank everyone who already did. I think it has all made us feel nice deep inside us. Here is the story that went with it. But first of all, I wanted you to know that I was thinking of my husband when I made this illustration. If you would try to look at it again, there was a long bridge and a boat sailing and below the boat in the sea is a reflection of a heart. And guess who would be the one sailing the boat-it is my husband. My husband’s line of work is all about sailing. He would even fly around the world just to sail a boat afterwards….I have gone with him in some occasion and he would take me with him especially, if I have not been in the place and his client will pay for my expenses. Very exciting actually but, I also feel very sad and worried everytime he travelled and sailed without me and many times, I would find myself thinking and praying for his safety. And everytime he goes away that I would tell him to remember that I love him and it is much deeper than the ocean. (pardon me fo my being so corny!) He would end up our goodbyes by telling me that he has already thought of coming home even if he is just going out of the door. The dove can actually represent myself or my wishes and prayers that God is taking care of him while he is away. I was also singing How deep is your love - by the Bee Gees while I was doing my illustration.

This is so lovely! Carrying love in its heart, it's ready to dive deeper. The ripples on the water are exquisite!
I noticed the reflection of the heart in the water, but it can't be from the dove since the angle is wrong. That must mean the heart is actually higher up above the dove. So in other words, look up and find love!
Kewl !
I like this illo, esp the reflection of the heart on the water. It definitely reaches the depth of the soul.
Beautifully done and tenderly rendered, this image makes me think of NY before 9/11 and after.
Piece from the depths of the soul :)
