The Five Sisters
16x20 oil on canvas
Yet often, in the evening hours, the five sisters would twine their arms round each other, and rise to the surface, in a row. They had more beautiful voices than any human being could have; and before the approach of a storm, and when they expected a ship would be lost, they swam before the vessel, and sang sweetly of the delights to be found in the depths of the sea, and begging the sailors not to fear if they sank to the bottom.
-Hans Christian Andersen, "The Little Mermaid"
Little Snow White
A small study from my Snow White painting.

Mermaid Monday
Happy Mermaid Monday! I think I need to set this one aside for a few days before I add the final touches.
A Villainous Orc
Hook
A little preliminary sketch of one of my favorite characters in literature. If you guessed Captain Hook from yesterday's post, you got it right!
A Regal Captain
It seemed inappropriate to have mermaids in my fairytale book, and not paint the portrait of a regal ship captain. Can anyone guess who I’m painting next?
