Mermaid - 02

This piece is very emotive. There is stark contrast between the mermaid and her background. She is well defined and lit, and the background is hazy, like the ocean after a heavy, chaotic, and severely dense storm.

What is she looking at? What is in the water? She looks so somber, but the way her flesh and scales catch the light, perhaps what she is facing is beauty?

Or does she, in and of herself, represent the typical mysteries of the often "female"-engendered waters?

The blending is superb! Meticulously threaded between and throughout each of the other colors. She is very much like a rainbow.

Again, CONTRAST.

Is she the adverse, in opposition of the darkness? Or is she THE ADVERSARY to everything that she is reflecting?

These are thoughts that spawn in my head when I look at your beautiful mermaid.
