Well, there's this to be said for persistent insomnia - it gives you plenty of time to catch up on your art. Rather pleased with this - pardon the nipples, but hey, we all have them, and if I lived in the sea I might not see the point in a bra. That's the only reason for the rating - nipples - so if you're not American, feel free to click.

(sorry to the Americans for that cheap shot...)

Oh! How beautiful! She looks so happy 2

:-) Catriona E J Millican replies: "Thanks for your comment, Jennifer. I’d be happy too, if I had a horse like that."

Although the subject is quite conventional, there is something quite refreshing about the picture. Maybe it’s the movement or the joy or the more ’natural’ proportions of the merlady or even the sketchiness of it. Whatever it is - well done! 1

:-) Catriona E J Millican replies: "Thanks! I suppose it is conventional - I never think about that, I just draw whatever I want to, and I think this picture expresses the mood I was in at the time."

Very lovely. And I love the colors. And who cares about nipples? 1 It’s like you said. We all have them, and the nude body...whether female, mermaid, ect....is a beautiful thing. Well done! 1

:-) Catriona E J Millican replies: "Thanks Robyn! I understand that some people aren’t happy with nudity, which is fine - I just don’t get why it is put on a level with "extreme violence". Never mind."

Again a very VERY well drawn horse, beautifull picture, I like the mermaid on it’s back very much.

:-) Catriona E J Millican replies: "Thank you very much!"

Cool idea! I especially enjoy the mane made of green sea-weed. Brilliant detail!
