Mermaid Waters

This is another small study I did when we were painting at Weekie Watchee a few months ago. The mermaid show takes place just to the left of the small pier you see in the study. In fact, while a fellow artist and I were painting a show was going on and some of the mermaids used this pier as their entry into the water. After painting we did go to see one shows and all of us were very impressed with the skilled swimmers. All of the show takes place underwater and the theater that its viewed from has one huge glass wall so we actually were underwater too.
