Sink or Swim?





'Sink' for Illustration Friday.
It can be quite pleasant letting your body sink slowly down into the silent depths of deep water, but sooner or later you have to swim back to the top!

the floating hair is my favourite, and I like the feel of peace of her as she is down in the water, beautiful!!

I love this, Cathy! (I'm catching up on blog visits at long last) This is so natural and full of movement; I can just feel the water flowing

Love this image, I was just wondering if with permission and given appropriate credit you might let me use it as an illustration on my blog? It has yet to take any real shape but I wanted to grab the opportunity to ask.
Thanks
