The Wait 8x16 Oil on Panel
A new addition to the studio. One of my goals for the year is to get back to doing more figurative work. This image is painted with a limited pallet of Prussian blue, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Scarlet red, Titanium White and Ivory Black. There is a touch of Thalo blue in the scales to add interest.
The idea behind this image is love. Who would be able to imprint a map on the back of a mermaid, and why would she stand guard to protect something that is not hers? She's waiting for his return. Are mermaids immortal? I don't think Pirates are. This could be a long wait.
Take a look at her back. Can you find her with in the map? Below is a close up.
Happy Adventures!
