So in 2011 i posted this mermaid painting, painted by yours truly. I remember sitting on my then bedroom floor sketching her out and then starting to add color and texture to her. At the time I was 26 years old, single with no kids and just painted for fun and as a creative outlet after my job (which was working as a graphic designer for the pharmaceutical industry).
When ever I looked at "her", my mermaid I always felt that she was unfinished and needed more. But life got in the way and Mermaid was put in to storage! I had never forgotten about her but did not feel like she was ready to be hung in any of my homes as I moved from home to home during the course of 13 years. But in the back of my mind I always heard this nagging voice for leaving her unfinished.
So in 2024 I finally pulled her out! Put her on my kitchen counter and started working on her when ever I found a little time. My life has changed completely since the day I was sitting on my bedroom floor at my parents home! Now I am married living in my own home wich my husband and I built with the help of our families, I am a mother of a 9 year old boy, a 2 year old girl and our 3 dogs!
Life is in full blown mode and painting time is both limited and so precious but I did it! I finally finished My Mermaid painting and she now lives with pride in my bedroom.
