Mermaid Swoop Mirror
Created August 2011
Inspiration- This piece started with a mirror that I had painted many months ago with no particular plans. It sat in my studio staring at me everyday. Finally during one particularly productive brainstorm I had the idea of making a mermaid and a wave swooping around the mirror. It was obvious to me that fish needed to dangle down below but I wasn't sure what I wanted to spring from the top until the piece was nearly done and I had the idea of the whimsical sail boat. It was also seredipity that at the moment that I was creating the wave that I happened to notice a container of flat glass marbles that had been in my studio for years and never used. The colors were perfect and very fun to add to the water.
