But, who isn't in the summertime, right?
All I can think of is how serene and happy I am squishing my toes in the sand and listening to the gentle waves along the beautiful coast.
And the smell of the salt water, for me, is so heavenly!
So, I've been inspired to do a couple of mermaid girls...
The first is called, "Frida's Ocean"

The first is called, "Frida's Ocean"
If Frida were a mermaid,
She'd paint the ocean floor,
A brilliant shade of blue,
That spanned unto the shore.
Each sea creature would live in a castle,
With a magical garden view,
They'd paint and float through the rays of the sun,
In Frida's ocean blue.
The original for this one is still available in my shop. :)
Below is "The Starfish Siren"
I painted her when we were on vacation...so I was feeling very inspired by the season, again. :)
