I have been collecting fairy tale books for years--a whole shelf full of them. In particular, I've loved stories of mermaids, mermen and their families. I even found a book called The Mermaid Reader, which details the lives, stories and legends of the merpeople.
This morning, in honor of Mother's Day I am re-posting one of my favorite drawings.
Here you see a tiny mermaid learning how to swim, instructed by her lovely green and blue tressed mother. The fish is a helpful friend--bubbling encouragement to the little one as she learns to flip her fins.
My reference models were my Sister Leigh and darling little niece Malaya.
Happy Mother's Day!

This is so sweet and lovely Beth! Ah!
what a beautiful drawing, very sweet and charming
That's a great drawing, Beth!...I would call it more than a drawing;)
I could see it as an illustration in a children's or fairy tale book.
Sorry, I didn't get to you before Mothers Day:(
