Title:From the Sea / Artist: Jessica Tremp / Model: Jo O’Brien THE MERMAID A mermaid found a swimming lad, / Picked him for her own, / Pressed her body to his body, / Laughed; and plunging down / Forgot in cruel happiness / That even lovers drown. William Butler Yeats a few of my favourite things come together…mystery, the sea, earthy colours and textures and an overall sense of whimsicality and melancholy

Kristy Lee wrote this… Mermaid - On water’s edge she pauses / Transcends all thought and form / In heavens arms she wavers / Before the brink of dawn This woman of the ocean / Who knows no thought but this / The cool, the clear, the sea foam / The rolling waves of bliss A moment in the moonlight / Spent gazing at the sky / Is cast away towards the deep / Where her sleeping sisters lie And in her wake / She leaves no trace / That you or I could find / A wave, a splash, a ripple / A silence in your mind go here to read more of her fabulous poetry.. http://www.redbubble.com/people/misskristy

Just as common as it’s cousin, the mermaid, but far less popular is the maid-mer. / Sailors will never be mystified by their beauty and Disney will never make a movie about them – but boy are they good eating!

A child of the sea, without a soul and forever a child/fish. I am curious about the ocean, about the human connection with the sea through evolution. All these dreams, myths and faerytales hint at something much more deeper. / When I swim in the ocean there is a hypnotic silence that complements the raw, wild power of the wind and water. / Although my heart beats rapidly I feel the silence and it’s familiar calming. Despite a gentle yet insistent reminder from my lungs that I need to breathe air, I feel the pull of the ocean. *I’m experimenting with backgrounds, I’m starting to feel I should move forward with my pencil drawings, imbue some emotion with colour/fabric/textute etc. Any sugguestions would be welcome.

Watercolor on board Ive always liked mermaids and used to peer into the waves hoping Id see one gliding inside the curl or playing with the sea lions. The kelp beds off the northern Californai coast are dense and home to all sorts of creatures, and any self respecting mermaid is going to adorn herself with the abundant shells and seaweeds flourishing in her environment. Mermaids are often depicted as sensual sirens who look as if they havn’t a thought in their beautiful heads other than luring innocent sailors to their deaths. Just as mortals have many natures, so do the seafolk. This painting is of one such mermaid who has better things to do then lay about on the rocks calling out to passing sailors. She has a sense of wonder and amazement because all around her the sea is alive with beauty. She loves her environment and is busy making necklaces and jewelry with abandoned shells and seaweeds (she would never boot a living animal out of its home or take its life for anything so selfish as making a new necklace to impress her freinds with). Below is part of her song, something I wrote to accompany the painting. I am the soft sigh of surf caressing sand. / The fluid, curling wave breaking upon sharp coral. / I am the rhythmic chant of the tides, / my perfume the salt fragrance of damp seaweed and far away lands. Ocean goddess and sea nymph, I am a daughter of the waters. / My world is a place of ever shifting, fluid realities. / I am swelling, invisible currents of sparkling light and mysterious shadow.

© Aimee Stewart, Foxfires – please see my CC TERMS OF USE before considering using this image for any personal or commercial use. The Shell Maiden / / I come from the rain of sky and sea, caught / on the web of a shoreline daisy, braced low / and spinning in carnival delight with the / kiss of Pacifica’s mist. I come from the company of driftwood and seashells, bleached white as a wedding train waiting to be worn. The waves roll like a wedding march / announcing the union of land and deep blue dreams. / They bring a dowry of tangled vines and sand dollar spines, / and my heart says YES to this sailors treasure. I come from the flutter of dry seaweed, / no longer rich with Oceana’s brine, and yet / adorning the beach with seafoam flare, / like rice and petals clinging to the foot of a runaway bride. Bring me the delicacies of your wedding feast, snapped up in the yellow of a jealous lover’s bill, for I am treading softly here on honeymoon beds of ancient sand, / inscribing moon colored vows / on the framework / of whales.

She emerged from the dark and drifted to the surface. Her naked, pale skin was mostly obscured by her swirling blonde hair. She held his look, staring up at him with longing, and reached for his hand. / Read more HERE The idea for this image was brought about late last night whilst reading a wonderful story in Redbubble titled / In Love With the Ocean / Written by the very talented Damian Model – Me Artwork – Me Model Image by the wonderful Barssel
