Artist's Comments

You don't need legs if you have a really cool ship! That is the philosophy of this spirited young mermaid who dreams of adventure on the high seas. Next time a passing vessel's crew gets careless, they may find themselves ship-jacked!

My entry for *Sea-Creatures "A Mermaid's Dream" mini-contest.

Painted from scratch in Photoshop, using the beautiful stock of *Lisajen-stock as a reference for the mermaid.

Schizophrenic conversations that
I'm always having with myself.
I hear these voices in my head competing.
Maybe I could use a little help.

It looks like the water is moving!! Beautiful! About the water moving...it could also be the pain medication...but it is still so realistic!

If you take a horses head & you gaze into their eyes, what do you see? You see a whole new person who doesn't judge you by your looks or how you dress. They see a friend who they can trust and love with their whole hearts.
We'll miss ya Barbaro & Admiral

Lol thanks! I'm sorry to hear you're taking pain medication, but at least seeing moving water sounds entertaining! :giggle:

You're welcome!! Codine and Amidrine together make me dizzy at times and make stationary things move...it is fun at times.
