Again, Some Old Art

MERMAIDS, TOO, DIE


I did this one a long, long time ago. It reflects a continuing fascination with mermaids since childhood, crossed with a grownup melancholy. I wish I hadn't sold it -- I think this and 'The Flying Fish' are the most personally meaningful and best-executed pieces I've ever done -- with the possible exception of 'Avidya' (here and here, among others); but at least I know who has this one.

And thank you, Daryl Hannah.

  1. what a beautiful piece! I stumbled upon your blog -- I think a reference to Downey, where I grew up! Love your cloud photos!

    Keep up the good work!
