The Pirate Muse | Mermaid Series

This is acrylic on canvas with the original sized at 18" H x 24" W         Prints available in multiple sizes, see below

The Story: What would a mermaid do if she fell in love with a pirate she rescued? In a dream one night the story unfolded. To keep her further from danger he mends his ways...most of the time... and she is able to swim through the waters next to his ship during the days. At night he takes a rope over the wood railing to be with his love - as long as she is touching him he can breathe above and below water the same.

And when a pirate ship tries attacking his now mostly legal trading vessel, you can imagine who wins when her friends and family join in the fray. It was a bit scary dreaming of twenty angry mermaids defending one of their own.

When painting The Pirate Muse I wanted to capture her sense of love and power to protect.​
