mermaid and her moon

I used the back of the cradled panel as a shadowbox,    cut out the plywood mermaid and added wood sides- this morning when I went out to my studio I discovered some hooligans had been playing with her décolletage!
Who could that of been?
And there was the distinct aroma of merlot... hmm.

I know this winter has been cold and long. But last night I when I was coming back into the house I  was awed by the beauty of the clear night sky with the bare branches reaching up to the stars.

Winter is a good time for...
painting wild colorful things
cuddling up in jammies
warm  delicious foods
tackling those inside projects
planning the next seasons gardens
being with friends.
Spring is coming- I will be happy, but I have enjoyed the winter- truly!

Hi, the mermaid piece and the winter sky photo are great.

We've rented a cottage in Onset for a week this August, and it's called "The Lazy Mermaid". Your piece would look wonderful there.

It will be during my birthday - come visit then! XO Bryson
