It’s been a whirlwind couple of days with school commitments for the kiddos—yesterday was my eldest’s sports day festival (a big deal on its own), and as vice chair of the public relations committee, I spent the entire time on my feet snapping photos and gathering quotes from everyone. Sooooo I’ve fallen a bit behind, but I’m hoping to catch up today!

As for this piece, uuuuuuuuuuuuum I’m not sure I fully pulled off the vision I had in mind The concept was meant to flip the typical aquarium experience...mermaids visiting humans on display in an underwater exhibit, the inverse of how we usually visit sea life on land. Buuuuut I think I got a little lazy with the coloring and the idea didn’t quite come through. Maybe it reads more like an optical illusion now...where it’s hard to tell who’s visiting who?
