Monday Mermaid

Finished up last night and this morning my driftwood mermaid. The piece of driftwood Steve found for me in Nehalem during our beach trip looked like a lady lounging. I stained it on Saturday then began painting it Sunday afternoon, sitting on the back porch in the sun.

It started off as a lady then turned into a mermaid.  One area looked like an arm; however, once it was painted it had grown into a leg-arm so turned it into a shell cov  That happens sometimes...stepping back, reviewing it from all angles, then accepting if something doesn't work and changing it so it does.

So thus the mermaid. It may not be perfect bit I sure enjoyed making it!
