It came from the deep



Ocho!! 

This was a lot of fun to paint. I'll definitely have to do some more in this theme.  I love swimming in deep waters and feeling the bottom drop out below me. It is terrifying and wonderful. It was such a rush to swim out into the Atlantic Ocean from Puerto Rico in 2006. I felt a such a visceral sense of the fragility of life,  thus feeling utterly and completely aware of being alive. That must be the same sort of rush that sky divers get when they leap.
