Day 15: Mermaid and the Moon Necklace
November 15th, 2011
Today, I created intuitively. I started the piece early in the morning, letting some ink and paint drip on wet watercolor paper while the hubster held Annabelle. After I put her down for a nap, I came back and played. And during a second nap I played some more. This is what came out. Somehow the moon has become the first piece in a necklace of underwater pearls.

The drips create a great underwater feeling to match such an adorable mermaid!

I love your mermaid! Much better than my mermaiden. How weird we both posted our merpeople on the same day. I love it!
