Someone recently asked me why I paint mermaids. As simple a question as it may seem, it took me by surprise. I never really thought of why before. Despite the fact that I didn't even know this person asking the question, he deserved an answer (or more appropriately, I deserved to figure out the answer for myself). Potential reasons rolled around in my head for a few moments before I confided my reason to this interrogator. I paint mermaids because of their inherent grace and beauty.
