I dreamt of mermaids throughout the spring.

This is a personal piece for me, born from the reading of Sarah Hall's "The Electric Michelangelo," the viewing of SF Ballet's "The Little Mermaid," and the search for solace during a particularly rough school semester.

The hair is beautiful. I have always envied those who have been able to capture the way wind or water sends it gently aloft. Lovely colors too. :)

This just took my breath away. It's really amazing!
I'm not an expert, but just... the colors, the pose, the texture, the lighting... really come together. I love it! (Besides, I must admit it gives me that vintage vibe, which I really enjoy.)
Keep up the good work, thank you!

I have conflicting emotions about this. At first I was like wow pretty colors, then I was upset because the girl will obviously die if she drowns, then this reminded me of an old kelpie story about the kelpie being lonely and wanting something beautiful for himself. Wow. So I feel sad for the girl but glad that the mermaid has a companion " If only for a short amount of time ".
