Lady Ocean - Mermay Speedpainting!

I was very inspired by this particular photograph (cited here: ) and decided to do a mixed media painting, combining my own painting and the photograph. The attached article speaks about the decline of the ocean sea levels, and the loss of coral reefs, which affects the amounts of sand on the beaches surrounding, and the undersea fish life. This is not due to any single issue, there are many factors involved. I’d highly recommend giving it a read, it’s very interesting. I was primarily inspired by the colors and the mood of the photograph, and I wanted to create a sea spirit, not a sea creature. A being that is not of the ocean but is the ocean. There are some things I could have done better, and if I had planned this out more thoroughly and done some design mockups it may have come out better, but I am glad I did, I’ll refine the concept in the future.
