Mermaids 07/25/2009
 
Picture
My "Mermaid's Garden" paintings began as a fantasy of a sanctuary under the ocean; a calm place with the seaweeds waving in the ocean breeze; tiny fish ebbing and flowing; jewels of the sea bed.

I imagined myself laying Ophelia like amongst the shells, looking up to the sun speckled ceiling; my long hair winding about me in the water; a flicker of my jade fins langoriously levering me over the coral.

It's my sanctuary, a land where there are no wars and no diseases; peace.

I'm incurably optimistic, I have to be.
