“Why do Mermaids have fish bodies?” This question led to the creation of this artwork. There are myriad of different species in the oceans, one of the most beautiful of which is the Jellyfish. So, when thinking of which to combine with the upper half of a woman, this beautiful creature came to mind. In creating the art, I brought in the influences of Flamenco dancing, where the skirts are flowing in such a way that the motion creates beauty on its own. When I completed the original, I brought in the influence of Bob Ross, and gave her some happy little friends in a second creation. The original title was “With the Fishes” but it seemed too mobster-ish. 

You know my views on AI. It’s a digital art killer. Once these are posted, I’m going back to acrylics.
