This painting first set out to be a challenge given to myself. I had just finished "Her Tranquility" and wanted to create another piece based on scripture. I find it difficult to paint one full piece engulfed with detail and then to do another right after. Though I can't tell you want scripture led me to this imagery, I can say that it put me in a place that allowed God to speak. The "S" movement her tail creates, the hair flowing up, and the colors are all soothing and repetitive of the grace God has for me. My mind and emotions are full and always moving, so to find a moment of peace with God's word is precious to me. This painting reminds me of why I love Him so entirely. He brings the smile on my face, fills me with life that flows like water, lifts me up, and brings light into view. All displayed with the mermaid's pose, actions, and colors in contrast to the world around her. God is constantly speaking, we need only to listen.
