Description

A Mermaid with silvery white tresses reclines at the bottom of a shallow spot underwater. Her pale skin is sprinkled with emeralds and leafy tatoos. The original watercolor and colored pencil maiden evolved into a second version of a soap bubble mermaid, also appearing in my gallery here. I had Danaerys Targaryon, the 'mother of Dragons - Game of Thrones' character in mind, as I sketched her. I then decided upon a rainbow tail with dolphin-like fins.
After the watercolor was finished, I added this fantasy background digitally to give depth and dimension.
I hope she will bring a colorful splash to all lovers of merfolk and fantasy creatures. I think she'll look great in a bath, spa, or as your favorite "mer princess's" tower room.

" Mermaids entered European mythology witoh conflicting personalities: Sometimes they were portrayed as beautiful, seductive maidens, almost goddesses like Atargatis, Tiamat, or Venus, greatly desired by lonely sailors, while also being cast as siren-esque beasts that dragged men into the inky-black depths. Mermaids found their way deep into the nautical lore of the Middle Ages onward. In legend, it was best to avoid mermaids and mermen, just to be sure. Olaus Magnus, the 16th century writer & cartographer whose seminal map Carta Marina obsessively cataloged the many monsters of the seas around Scandinavia, noted that fishermen maintain that if you reel in a mermaid or merman, and do not presently let them go, such a cruel tempest will arise, and such a horrid lamentation of that sort of men comes with it, and of some other monsters joining with them, that you would think the sky should fall. Sea-people, it was widely held, were terribly bad luck to see or snag."

"It's own kind of genre, I coined the term "Artography" in 2009 for the process that blends photography techniques and both pigment art and digital paint as a mixed media all its own". It's both ART and PHOTOGRAPHY in an inevitable progression in the way artists evolved and mixed digital mediums.

Pamela gained perspective on both sides of the Lens, modeling as a Mature model as of 2008.
A tremendous help for portraits, it also deepened her appreciation of photographic lighting.
