Artist's Comments

This is one of my most recent watercolor paintings. I've been meaning to do more mermaids in digital art but ended up doing one traditionally. Oh well, I really like it anyway and it was a lot of fun. There is something about holding the original in your hands that beats the tar out of digital art any day.

The original is still available but won't be for long. You can bid on it at eBay, but if it doesn't sell there it will either be going to Dragoncon or another convention art show.

The winner receives the painting, matted by me and framed by my grandfather in recycled weathered old wood. It really looks like dirftwood and I love the new style of frames.

Wow. I love how the black streaks look like scratches as much as clothing.

I like the sailing teaming.
Well, it's true that the moon could pull it back far away from me.
I like the orphan sea.
Well, we were never invisible but oh! I guess we could not see:
We'll be crushed by the ocean
But it will not get us wet.

Your sins are not redeemed
By swearing perjury.
Your sense of self-esteem
Has miles to go to sanctity.

Lovely indeed :) The stripes give it an interesting look, as if she had shreds of clothing. Her hair turned out pretty good as well.

It's true, traditional art is better than digital, even though digital is cleaner. Unfortunately, progress demands that artists be skilled in both fields in order to last. I'm glad to see you're talented at digital and traditional painting as well.

Keep them coming!

Cool markings! The little fins on the arms and the fingerwebbing look exotic, too. Terrific job!

More lovely vibrant colours. Wonderful.
