These lovely ladies are the shimmery stuff of dreams. I didn't go into the studio planning to paint a mermaid (in fact i'm not sure i've ever thought about painting a mermaid) but last week, early one morning, I picked up the long block in the center, noticed a scrap of white in my stash, saw an image in my head and started to paint. With the 1st mermaid as my muse I created two more over the next couple of days (while I should have been working on many other things...ahem.). I love the black background, the bit of shimmer and the 2" thick wood blocks. I plan to create a few more mermaids and have another image from the sea in mind too...stay tuned. Wishing you a week full of unexpected inspiration : )
