Basking Mermaid


This mermaid is getting a tan by basking in the sunshine. It's been dreary and cold here. I am ready to bask in the sunshine, too!!!

Wavy Day Mermaid


"Wavy Day Mermaid" is just meadering in the waves--with no particular place to go. Sometimes we just need a day like that.

White and Blue Posies


This painting is called "White and Blue Posies." There is nothing better than a purple sky...

Trying My Hand at Fish


Since I love color, I decided to do some fish. Inspired by a few relaxing moments by our fish tank and thoughts of summers at the lake, I am extremely pleased with the end result. I am sure I will do a few more fish, so keep checking back. Maybe I'll go crazy!!!

Addition to Bouquet Series


This painting is called, "Freshly Picked." It is another in my "Bouquet" series. I decided to experiment with some different color combos. I've gotten lots of compliments on this one.

Two New Mermaids


All my mermaids up to this point have been in the water. The one on top is called, "Sunning Mermaid on a Rock." I decided to place this gal on a rock catching a few rays. I love how it came out.
The one below is called, "Mermaid Enjoying Life."

Mermaid Sunset with Friends


I have painted my largest mermaid yet...plus, I used a sponging technique for the sunset background.
