Serenity

Yes....that's how I see this piece....so I named her Serena.

She has an understated background to keep this calm scene. The only thing I added was a simple tone-on-tone design a little to the left....almost an image of sun reflected in the water. A peaceful thing for her to be looking at.

I've included a few detail shots for you to be able to see a bit more of what is hidden inside. (you'll have to click to see it better)

Love working on mermaids. I'm sure another one is right around the corner!
