… or heartfelt ways!
When you are relaxed and calm your heart rate slows down.
The effects are similar to when you breathe deeply.
Deep breathing can help slow your heartbeat,
making the heart work more effectively to pump blood around the body.
“Airways”
• watercolor, wax, digital effects • Lisa Rivas © 2008
Plants breath by taking in gases from
the air and give off others through pores in their leaves. It’s a
passive process, since there is no active pushing and pulling of air as
animals do with lungs.
This is such a beautiful, calming and healing image – and I loved reading the words too. Beautiful deep greens reminding me to slow down a little…and breathe…thank you:-)
i love how the lines of the plant are similar to what the inside of the lung look like. clever you.
Thanks for such wonderful comments.
Jacqueline you were very close in your perception. I emulated the valves of the heart in the structure lines of the plant and gave the background a feel of a map!
FYI: I draw very complex site maps for a living…
