Stay with me under the waves

Stay with me under the waves - mixed media journal page


i have always been mesmerized with the underwater world.

what is it that lurks below the shimmering blue green surface?

in my dreams, it's mermaids

mythical and magical

swirling and twirling

and saving lost sailors from the depths of the deep dark sea.

Stay with me.... detail.

Meet me under the ocean in your dreams.

{mermaid dreams}

The story goes, that the goddess Atargatis, who was the mother of a queen, was in love with a mortal shepherd but accidentally killed him. After this, and filled with shame, she threw herself into a lake and tried to take the form of a fish, but the waters refused to conceal her divine beauty. Thereafter she lived as a mermaid - human above the waist, fish below.



Underwater Inspiration


This weeks art inspiration is Mermaids.

Slip down
under the water.
twirl,
gracefully,
sparkling and reflective,
sensual
and
magical
dream your ocean dreams
and share them with us.
