Oil painting Michael Parkes Mermaid’s Secret

Mermaids, memory, found family and mythical revisionings in a thick novel that marries epic fantasy with domestic fantasy. Watermyth enfolds a mise-en-abyme narrative strategy (the tale within a tale) to create multiple perspectives for those who like their fantasy novels a little mind-bendy.

Mischievous Mermaids

This one started out as a “Creepy Cryptids” design but I enjoyed drawing these gals so much I had to give them their own illustration.

Still want to draw the other cryptids some day though…

My niece is interested in joining the Fediverse ... Any smallish servers that might be of interest to her?

She likes things #psychic, #mediums, #tarot, #surfing, #acting, #theatre, #mermaids

Any suggestions?

Moving on in my Water 2025 reading- I finished Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant. I was pleasantly surprised by perfect pacing in this short horror novella about what happens when well equipped folx seek out mermaids and find they aren’t like #Arielle. 5️ #bookreview #marianatrench #horror #mermaids #SeananMcGuire #fantasy check out the full review here: https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2025/01/book-review-rolling-in-deep-by-mira.html?m=1

Some paintings of Kaia that I did over the years. I love mermaids and I'm excited to make more paintings/drawings of them.

Who among us has not at least once longed for a pink heart-shaped bathtub, a tunnel of love ride, and an underwater mermaid show?

Where in America can I find these things?
