Bronzed Mermaid

Gouache, 4.5 x 4.5 inches, 2005.

One of the 'Drinking Girls' series of miniature paintings - all fantasy creatures of some kind.

She lies in the sun, shading her head with her own tail, a Vodka Martini in one hand and a large holiday romance in front of her… this is a mermaid who moves with the times. Well to be honest she hasn't moved all that fast, never having heard that sunbathing is bad for you, and that drink is a bit last-century, but she's more up to date than your average mermaid, waiting around on rocks for sailors to fall in the water...
