The Universal law is that knowledge, that awareness, that all living things, that all life has within it that vitality, that strength, to gather from itself all things necessary for its growth and its fruition.

You've achieved a semi-embossed look here, Annette. As abundant as water is on this planet, it is STILL so very precious in its clean unpolluted state.
Water, the elixir of life,
Without it, dire strife,
Fresh from mountains stream
Keep the whole world green
It is the thing makes life right.
And this painting true to life.
Very nice dialog and painting Annette! I remember my father teaching me to drink from a stream like the subject in your wonderful painting. (even though the subject has the benefit of a pipe)....how I miss those days.
Talk about WOW....Very Very excellent all your work is great annette. I feel I could drink the water myself it looks so real . Your message is one to make us count our blessings.
Wonderful message and image of hope. Dear Annette, it is surprising to me to see how many people are ignorant of the care of our water. They waste so much of it. It makes me sad. God Bless You for raising this awareness.
This is a striking portrait. We see the person in association with another element, water. The water takes on the value of a friend, a companion, and a necessity.
Superb artwork,Annette...as well as your added text is so correct. Water is very important factor of LIFE, most important component of our body. Truly WONDERFUL Piece..love everything about it.
Annette, this image speaks volumes. Used to promote aid for countries that need help with clean water supplies & many other basic requirements this image could make a huge difference to the success of that appeal.
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink particularly in the poorest countries is a life-sustaining commodity worth its weight in gold, and one day will be true everywhere as fresh drinking water becomes scarcer.
Annette, You have created a great piece of art without equal. The facial expression and hands are like a great novel written with love and thoughtfulness. BILL NAGY
It's powerful, expressive and attractive. Excellent painting, Annette!

A very powerful image, Annette. Your choice of a mottled backdrop instead of more of the scene works great to keep the focus where it needs to be. Well done!
