Clearing

Clearing

This is a companion piece, or  follow-up, to Awash In The Storm.

It’s nice to see the sun coming out, and her colour coming back, as she walks, in the park, with her yoga bag and umbrella.

Nota Bene:

Thanks DestinyBlue for allowing her Line Art Saving at Oielvert - lineart
(2005) and Treasure Hunter Lineart (2009) to be coloured and tweaked.

Here is DestinyBlue’s finished version, Saving at Oeilvert (2004, “My first submission to DA…” -DestinyBlue )

This was inspired in part, by DestinyBlue’s Hope for Brighter Days (2013).

Memo:

A storm can be invigorating. But, it’s also a relief when the skies clear; and, curious to see what the storm has changed.

It looks like we're all in for a bit of a storm.

Time to get back to hoeing the row-

À Bientôt…

Take Care.
