Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder they say, but my friend, honestly, This is beauty to anyone's eyes!

So this is how my mind processed this painting so i'll word it that way too. (well it exploded at first but i'll talk about what it processed after it got itself together in one piece )

The Concept: It's clear. As clear as water, that you wanted to paint a mermaid and that's what it looks like. Mermaids are beautiful subjects often drawn by every other artist. But, this is where you area n exception: Mermaids are usually drawn with their fish like tail, sea shell top etc. You didn't do that. Yet, you've achieved the mermaid effect. That's clarity in the concept right there.

Color Scheme : A painting is attractive and message giving if it's done with the right colors. I like dhow you used blue and red instead of the general color scheme a person thinks of for a mermaid-blue and green. what can i say? originality flows in you like a river (a li'l ironic ain't it?)

Originality : Everything you paint is immensely original. we have a pixie style and everyone knows it, admires it, and practice it. But this thing bagged teh price for most original work of yours. Right form teh character design, to the accessories to the color scheme, everything's is out of the box! so i'll go in detail on this. please bare with me as i do:

The hair: You bound teh hair (generally wavy), you painted it black (generally golden).

The accessories: it's the best part, you dressed with sea accessories. I loved who you used strings of small pearls and of course teh star fish! it's beautiful that you gave a ruby in teh heart of teh starfish. you embedded it with precious gems. such a beauty! Then there are teh sea shells and fins too.

The ear ring is like a friggin' fish rope with a bait! my god, how long did you spend in teh idea alone? or did they just flow? i personally dig teh blood on her neck. damn! fish are scaley and you often get cut, super concept! and also, teh amazing neck piece with teh shards. super awesome!

The Face Original pixie style face. awesome as ever. i liked how her lips are like fish lips (a li'l prettier than that of course!)

And teh finishing touch is the amazing gold fish and the beautiful over all shine. Wonderful job!

lastly, I think you had a lot of fun painting this and you i dont know how all your paintings are so neat despite the really precise technique. You are an amazingly original, one of a kind artist! You never fail to get my eyes popping out every time you paint something!
