At first she looked like a transvestite with a big square, jutting chin and I kept wanting to paint an adams apple on her neck but I refrained and redid the chin....You can still see the hint of a drag queen, but I am fine with it....I was so relaxed and really enjoyed the whole process..The next night I used heavy watercolor paper and I got some good acrylic paints and I painted another one...
These might turn into some kind of mermaid cards or something, but maybe not....maybe I will paint a mermaid dotee doll just for you Val.......

Wow! Great paintings! I think they turned out great!
oh Melinda, these are lovely. I love the one looking directly at you.....I think mermaids would be quite vain creatures and would always look right at you!
Melinda, you are one VERY talented girl!!!!
All of your paintings are lovely. I love the way you've done the eyes on the mermaid with brown hair ... looks like she's staring straight at you:-)
Hugs to you.
WOW... I can see you took you inspiration from my original "Innocent Waters" painting. You should have noted that! Renee L. Lavoie
So sorry Renee......It has been so long I dont even know where the inspiration came from!!!!! Honestly. I went to your link and looked at some of your paintings and they are so beautiful.......I could never even begin to paint like that. The painting for sure does not look like anything you would do! Thank you so much for the inspiration you gave me! xoxoxox melinda
