An experiment with mixed media, inspired by my own dear catfish. Who, by the way, has been living in a way too small fish tank with a broken filter for the past seven years but still refuses to die, no matter how often I forget to feed him. I'm beginning to think he's magical.

Wow: one of the most beautiful mermaids I ever saw. I love the reduced choice of colours, so pretty. 1

Very pretty; I love the way she is blending into the surroundings. The muted colours are very effectful.

Beautiful work! The mermaid is very pretty. I like her fins. Great colours; the blue makes the brown colours stand out more. Really nice all over!
