I started this in February and felt stuck for a really long time. Mostly because I didn’t like her face and I detest working so small. Fine details are not my thing. In any case, I decided to call her done a few months ago. Here are my first mermaid and her little seal companion.
The reason I decided to create this piece is because I had had seals on my mind for a while (they kept appearing in meditation and during Reiki) and I kept feeling this nudge to paint one.
Hello Courageous Friends!
This cutie was so fun to create! I think she looks sassy and like she knows what she’s talking about when she says “Listen to your inner wisdom.” We all have a deep knowing within us but oftentimes we ignore it. Trust that inner voice. Listen to those whispers. The truth is within each of us. We already know the answers.
Wishing you the happiest of holidays, whatever and however you celebrate this time of year. May you be surrounded by love, joy, and harmony. And may you remember to listen to your inner wisdom. Always.

Love,
Jackie
