Mermaid

Acrylic on denim. This painting is a fantasy portrait. The girl shown is some kind of water spirit: either a naiad/mermaid or just a surfer girl. This is a fantasy painting without direct fantastical imagery. The aqueous nature of the piece isn't obvious without the knowledge that the background objects are sea-life species. The fantastical is all around us. We live myth every day. "Mermaid" is unframed with gallery wrap finished edges.
