Mermaids

For Christmas a couple of years ago, my in-laws did a homemade Christmas. While I cannot hammer in a nail to save my life, I can do whimsical creatures. So I decided to paint some fun little mermaids for my sister-in-laws.

I think my favorite part was the detail on their tails, after drawing them of course. I love to doodle and sketch, I actually got into a lot of trouble in school because all my papers (seriously ALL) had doodles in the margins. I can't help myself, I need to let them out.

So, since we can't seem to keep this little blog current, I'm just going to post some old stuff and have at her. I am fairly certain I painted these with the Reeve's watercolor set that Rob bought me for Christmas one year, that set was full of color, and I loved it. Until I found out how awesome M. Graham paints are. World's apart, my friend, worlds.

Here you go with "The Pearl" and a few mermaid dances, honestly my favorite is the redhead, which did not come out right in photos. No matter what I do, she still looks yellow, which is so unlike the actual painting, but my scanner hasn't worked in years. It's disappointing to say the least.
