I love this painting. I had this calender picture that was very similar, so I decided to alter it. I love it. I did it a few years ago. The only things I need to fix are her arms need to be longer and she needs more curves! But, I love the colors. (oh yeah... it was to big for my scanner so i scanned it in parts and put it together like a puzzle- but its all there) Acrylic Paint on Canvas Put together with Photo Studio 2000 SE

I love it too! The wonderful blue colours and the elegance of the mermaid. It's really very beautiful!

:-) Ashley Lasnetski replies: "Thanks! I'm glad you like it (can't you tell my favorite color is blue?) I'm trying to work on some more finished peices like this- for right now I'm afriad I just have sketches up. But I like them too- you can analyze and see the thinking process. ANyways~ thanks!"

Gerat use of color shading

:-) Ashley Lasnetski replies: "I thought so! It has like 5 layers of paint because I wanted it just right and my leg was the paint pallette. (I'm a messy painter!- messy is good!!!!!!)"

The use of blue in this is very eye-catching and I like the way you have blended the colours. It has a definite deep sea appearance. The shadow of the mermaid on the sea floor is a nice touch too.

:-) Ashley Lasnetski replies: "Thanks, blue is my favorite color- can't you tell. Yeah, i really liked how the black shadows make the ocean seem endless..."

I love it too, mostly because its blue, but also because when i look at it, i see my life. How im plunging into the deep dark blue where i cant see whats infront of me and everything is chance... Then again, maybe i think to much.

:-) Ashley Lasnetski replies: "Isn't blue the best color??? I like your intepretation... I never thought of it like that but I like it!"

I love the 'spittles' of white reflecting the light. This really conveys a sense of delving down into the depths of the ocean- it just swallowed me in!
