Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed by everything; like the world's closing in around you and you're under water... This artwork was created in an attempt to capture that exact moment / feeling when you're under water and you're looking toward the sky as the light from the sun shines down through the water. As we thought about the feeling of being underwater from this artwork we began to sing/hum the pre-chorus to 'All Of Me' by John Legend: "My head's under water, but I'm breathing fineYou're crazy and I'm out of my mind" Today we're sharing our artwork that's title comes directly from those lyrics, "Under Water But I'm Breathing Fine" an 18x24" Watercolor on Paper from August 2025. The original artwork is available for purchase at www.craigscanvases.com/shop/p/under-water-but-im-breathing-fine Artist's Statement / Backstory: Prior to last month it had been a while since I'd done any completely watercolor artworks and definitely none at the size / scale of this piece. Home renovation projects were in full swing and creating artwork wasn't a top priority; but, when I had a little time I tried to use it to make art. This piece was really trying to capture the way in which I was trying to stay calm in the midst of basically every room of the house being torn up. I did indeed feel under water; but, kept looking for the sun to shine in those moments much like when you're looking at the bright orb that's piercing through the water.
