I do a lot of these types of scenes on 4 inch  x  6 inch leather.

My aunt was one of the first mermaids and this going to her.

that's one of the reason I like doing these, to capture family memories.

i will complete the painting then go back over and smooth  out the paint lines.

Keep up your work, and your family history and memories.

Thank you. It has been rewarding for me to be able to do them.

It's finished just need to seal it .  Skin tones are a pain. the tent of the leather changes 

the application of paint. I can not leave it just natural. I use Bullseye shellack to seal and it darkens ray leather.

The spot is a fleck of lent.

That's nice.... I remember going to Weeki Wachee as a kid and seeing the mermaids.

It is so cool that your aunt was one of the first mermaids.  Keep up the good works. They awaken memories in most of us of our childhood.

The fishing themed ones really grab me.  Might be fun to be grabbed by a mermaid too!  Places we fished, under old railroad trestles, along canyons in the Black Hills, not much room for mermaids....
