My Destiny the Sea | Mermaid Series

 A LIFE sized mermaid! 

This is acrylic on wood with the original sized at 86.5" H x 33" W         Prints available in multiple sizes, see below

One day I was thinking of ways to paint a larger mermaid. I wanted to be able to show plenty of sand and sky. The ready to buy canvases where not any size that would work so my hubby and I talked about building a stretch frame and using our own roll of canvas. The next thing I knew, he had built a solid surface of wood with supports around the outside - strong enough and tall enough to hang over a utility door or lean against a wall.

The Story: This painting took a bit of time to complete - I worked on her in stages so I could feel the sand and sea breeze as I was creating. I imagined what it would be like to have the freedom to roam the waters and also sit upon land, gazing back toward my underwater home. Somewhat the reverse of what we do as humans at the beach. As a mermaid, would I wish to explore the land more? Or would I be content with the dolphins and sea turtles as companions? As I was finishing the details, I had the sense of power and serenity - her world is hers to make and she lives as she pleases - living by her inner guidance. Her destiny is the sea and her joy is working to make the world a better place for all creatures - land and water.

The original painting is on custom wood surface with supports and can be hung to cover a door, leaned against a wall or over a fireplace with cathedral ceilings. The prints are a matte finish on high quality paper, shipped flat or in a tube, depending on size. All items have our 100% guarantee.
