The Seamaid's Fantasy

What does a mermaid dream of? Perhaps to leave the water to see the land and bask in the golden sun? This golden mermaid would explore the world of air and dry land upon an elegant steed transformed from her ocean realm!

I often join with other artists to participate in art group challenges and themes. In this instance, the challange was to paint a work featuring both a horse and a mermaid together, so, here is my offering of a horse/mermaid artwork! I hope you enjoy her!
This is a small format original oil painting on 1/8", hand sanded and gessoed hardboard panel.
