I decided to paint something that incorporated a mermaid, pirate lore, and the undersea world. I ended up creating this scene with a tearful mermaid at the site of a shipwreck. I included some pirate mythology into the scene including the hourglass (which symbolizes the time of death).
I decided to do something a bit different and decided that a lightning storm sky would bring an added dimension to the painting. I had to use multiple photos to piece together the painting from Yaki Point. There are trails visible in the lower left corner.
We’ve been to Grand Canyon several times over the years and sometime I’m going to hike all the way to the river and also to Havasu Falls. Both are on the bucket list.
I found a photo taken in the late 1800s of a girl that I presume was wearing a wedding dress and decided to paint a color portrait of it. I made some changes for the chair and provided a background but otherwise retained much of the detail of the photograph.
