Description
" Her love for mankind grew from day to day, and she longed more and more to live among them, for their world seemed to her so much larger than hers. " - The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen... I painted this for the annual 2010 August Lights festival at the Galleries at Sunset Center, Amarillo, TX, where I exhibit and sell my original artwork. The theme that year was fish. Rather than just paint a fish, I was inspired to paint a mermaid painting and a jelly fish painting. I designed her hair after mine because if I don't iron it flat, I have what I call wavy, "mermaid hair." I painted the rocky coast from pictures I took of the coast when I was living in Monterey, CA.
