Paint Party Friday - Surfing

It's time for Paint Party Friday!  Thanks to Kristin and Eva for hosting!  I've been doing a Mermaid theme recently and today she's 'Surfing'!  It's acrylic on cardstock (6.5" x 4.5").  She must live in Hawaii!

Please visit some of the participants in this ever growing art co-op!

I clicked on it to enlarge it. Nice! Love the wave action. The mermaid looks like she is body surfing with no board. More realistic this way, especially for a mermaid.

Oh my!! Those waves are awesome! I had to enlarge it too..to see closely..love her outstretched arm...great!

You are very creative! You have captured the waves on your painting like the real one... if only I could love the water more. hahaha... but being surrounded by it is good enough. You have a great weekend Ms Christine! :)

Oh, this is so nice! Wow...your big wave looks so realistic! And the mermaid is so cute. I just found a mermaid charm among my jewelry stuff for making necklaces. She's silver though...I'm loving your pink one!

Brilliant! Really, really beautiful - and she's catching a really beautiful wave too. She's one of my favorites, xo

Your mermaid has taken on a gigantic wave to surf. I agree, it looks like Hawaii. Beautiful scene, Christine.

I love it! So fun to show a mermaid surfing...I don't know why that seems so revolutionary...mermaids MUST surf, right?

I love that surfing mermaid, so fun!
I am surprised i have not seen surfing mermaids in more art, it makes so much sense, a great way to have fun in the sea!

Lots of movement Christine. She is tiny but looks great and seems to be flowing with the waves. Great work.
