I painted today. Hooray!
So, I got a commission from an old childhood friend of Damon's who wanted a copy of my Lotus Mermaid for her daughter's room, since her daughter totally digs mermaids. (I can relate!)
The original piece that I sold was an embellished & mounted print that I sold a year ago on Etsy. It's always weird with prints, because I want to make my "art" pieces individual, and unique, and there were always things about the original that bugged me (i.e. her hands), so I offered to just make an original painting for her based off the original drawing.
Anyway, this is it! She's not varnished yet (it's so hard to photograph/scan after they're varnished), and I'm considering putting a tiny green swaroski crystal in each of her eye to add some sparkle after the varnish is on. But otherwise, I'm countin' her done.
PS- the original has uncovered boobs, but the embellished got some lotuses covering her ladies, since the piece was originally for GDG's Nickelodeon Show, and they wanted family friendly art...

Lotus Mermaid
Went to the Lotus Festival today in Echo Park and well.. had to draw a Lotus mermaid, of course! (seem to be back on my mermaid kick again- what's up with that?)
Was going to draw her with black hair (since it would make sense that she's asian, since that's the whole premise of the Lotus Festival), but the blonde seemed to stand out better and show off the spirals, so I went with that color.
Sadly, there were no lotuses this year in the lake, but hopefully they will come back after 2010 when they renovate the park.
