“Sea Nymph”
Acrylic on Canvas – November 2016

I really wanted to challenge myself and paint a mermaid. I’ve only ever tried to paint one before and it is a painting that I like but do not love. Therefore I really wanted to challenge myself and do something that captured some of what I’m learning about painting water and undersea paintings while trying to take it to the next level.

I also have to admit that I took a bit of inspiration from my friend Danielle who just recently dyed her hair rainbow colors. During the time I was painting it she was standing onstage doing one of the most important gigs of her career thus far – and while I couldn’t be with her in her moment “of glory” she wasn’t far from my thoughts. I also got to use some new textural material and paints so I thoroughly enjoyed the process and how it turned out!
