This is todays painting of the chubby mermaids.
Manatees if you will.
Always a wonderful animal to see, these gentle giants are in constant danger of boat strikes.
Herbivores they eat the grasses that can also get torn up by boats.
So many people just don't realize they are a close inhabitant of our coast.
This piece is one of the smaller ones, measuring only 11 inches.
Still a fun piece to paint!
Here is the completed turtle with the background added.
I was finally able to get into the shop and cut them all on my scroll saw.
Always a crowd favorite sea turtles are some of my best-selling pieces ever.
This guy is 16 inches round.
Finally, the background added for the manatee painted yesterday.
I love how they almost are like bumper cars when in the water, gently floating into one another.
Still need to sign this one I see though!
Each day is a new challenge, and a new solution found.
God gave me a very creative spirit and most of the time I can find solutions for issues that arise.
One issue right now in the studio is the sheer number of paintings.
I need to erase, varnish, and put hangers on them.
Then they will be packed away until the National Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
That reminds me!
Here is the show schedule if you want to see them in person.
I always love a sweet hello!
