I started this piece last week for Mixed Media Monday's Mermaid challenge, but I was unable to finish it in time. The background is many, many layers of paint and ink: sponged, stampled, and splattered. You name it and I think I did it to this little picture. Fortunately, TGIF is having a Fish challenge this week, and MMM is doing Beaches, so I'm going to submit this painting for both. BTW my friend Serena's blog title, which has always made me smile, was the inspiration for this painting. Be sure to check out her amazing altered art here.
great painting!!!
ReplyDeleteWow fantastic painting. Wonderful creation. Love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alberta for this fish entry on TGiF.
How beautiful! I love the company your mermaid keeps! I wonder if those fishies are friends or maybe take-out for her next meal. Perish the thought.

Hey Lady !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mermaid !
Nice job checking stuff off the list. I kind of hate sometimes that the list never stops getting things added to it ! My hubby is a big list maker. He was on vacation last week and I asked him to see if he could go the week without making a list of things we had to do. Guess what ? He couldn't go more than a day ! Let's hurry up and relax !
We work it out though, Mrs. "I like to Go With the Flow, Random Girl" and Mr."Let's Make a List So we Can get it All In, Predictable Boy". A balancing act of have-to's and want-to's and we are both happy ! That and I told him to keep his lists to himself !;-)
Back to the weekly grind list ! Have a good one, Girlfriend !
Lovely painting! I love the colours and her eyes are beautiful! Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love mermaids and this one brought a big smile to my face ... especially riding a unicorn! Delightful!
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful
ReplyDeleteCheeky little mermaid, keeping company with the fishes! Beautiful (again) Alberta!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on this! That mermaid is darling and love the fishes.
ReplyDeleteOooo...And I love that the seahorse is a unicorn!!!!
Have a great week!
Love her fishes. But most of all I love your checked-off list. I only make list when I know I'm gonna do it or at least try. Or as you know I sometimes make list of things I'm not going to do. It works too.
ReplyDeleteOh she is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate that green pollen from the oak leaves. I have to wait until the Photina pollen falls then I'll clean my porch too.
Glad you were able to check so much off your list. You're such a busy bee.
Nice to see you back on the blog I am surprised you didn't link to your wonderful words on art and meaning. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLove the mermaid! Mermaids are one of my favorites along with beachy/ocean scenes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you for having such a productive weekend.
have a great week.
xoxo

Oh my goodness, she's beautiful!! I'm so honored to have played a part in the inspiration for it! You are awesome, girlfriend! xoxo Serena
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love (and collect) mermaids! Sorry I haven't responded on Etsy. We've all been sick here with bad chest colds, one right after the other. I kept meaning to, but kept forgetting. Yes, I received the lovely red piece and it's going on my art wall just as soon as I feel better. You are so talented -- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDelete'dream with the fishes'...love that! This painting is so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving me such a wonderful comment on my blog. Have a great week :)
Alberta, I'm so glad you finished this glorious painting, and that we all got to enjoy it! Diane
