Sunday Sketches - Merman Silhouette

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This is an acrylic on cardstock (8.5" x 5.5") featuring a Merman Silhouette.  I was thinking it was a Mermaid when my husband suggested it looked more like a man because there wasn't much hair!  So, I thought, why not?  M actually had no idea what I was trying to depict, maybe a man with a fish beside him?  Maybe I should have put the tail a bit closer to the head.

Looks weird. It's a man all right, but what is that next to him? Ha!

Oh he's a merman for sure! I love how you put your signature around the setting sun. Kinda neat looking that way! It's making me think of adding more words in my art. Happy SS!

Merman... now they tend to get ignored in favour of the mermaids... I am trying to think of the children's story that had them in that I used to read to Phantom... can't remember it for the life of me but it was such a fun book... xx

Awesome! I love the poetic looking sunset the merman's Looking out into. Blessings!

It can't only be mermaids after all. Otherwise there would be no more merpeople.
