This painting is on a 16" x 20" canvas, sides are painted a neutral
light blue. Kind of a watery feel, I used to paint a ton of mermaids on wood
for my recycledwoodart.etsy.com site I share with my sister. We are trying out
some new designs that are not so large. No fun to have life size wood mermaids
break in transit, but it happens. So I called this one Mermaid Dance.
Miss the gesture, figure drawing that I used to do a lot. I didn't really learn how to paint faces
until I was teaching high school and my mentor, Mr Dodt, showed me how. He can paint a perfect
portrait in about a minute. Most people cannot do that, it is awesome.
These girls are simple and abstract. They are on marendevineart.etsy.com
