IF_ Atmosphere

The prompt for Illustration Friday is Atmosphere this week. I kept envisioning atmospheric effects, but I had already been working on this piece for another project and wanted to use it for Watercolor Wednesdays  for ocean.  I just hadn't gotten around to posting it yet.  I decided it would work for both.  I also love the ocean.  I guess you could say it's the atmosphere, the feel of the air with the ocean mist that clings to it.  The constant breeze and the soothing sounds of waves and birds.  It's such a healing place.  Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. I appreciate every one of them.   P.S.  I added the definitions for fun, not because I think any of you needs to know the definition of Atmosphere.  My daughter used to play a game with the dictionary, she even liked to read the dictionary, she always read everything.  I guess I am just missing her, as well as the ocean and wishing they were both closer to home. : ) at·mos·phere [ átmə sfr ] (plural at·mos·pheres)
