A watercolor pencil sketch of red mangrove roots, looking down from the boardwalk. Right now the ground is damp - in the summer (our rainy season) it would be swampy with several inches of water. I added a haiku (I'm at the beginner's level!) as a way to expand on the sensations I felt.

Oh la la, Elizabeth! I love your use of negative space to build the roots!! Bravo for the haiku verse.
ReplyDeleteWonderful negative images, Elizabeth!

...beautiful drawing, and I love the haiku!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! I'm not well versed in haiku so it's a bit of a stretch for me...I just felt there was more to the experience than my drawing could express. I so enjoyed working on the negative spaces after the intial drawing. :) Very zen-like.
