I completed another mermaid drawing while relaxing in the evenings... These little drawings really have been helping me from going completely insane. It is so relaxing to scribble a little here and there. Keeping my connection to art is absolutely necessary for my sanity. It's my life's blood!
Crazy things just keep on happening here. We had freak hail and tornado like winds yesterday - the worst we've had so far, and I lost a bit of my roof. Pieces of it were in my front yard and in the street. Hopefully they are coming to fix it this afternoon. We lost power during the onslaught and it was so dark out that there was nothing I could do but cuddle up by my little fireplace and wait out the storm. My kitty and puppy dog were so scared - I just tried to comfort them. It was over in a few hours. Another storm is coming in overnight and I'm hoping the roof holds.
I got a nice photo of my cherry plum tree blossoms before the wind hit... It was sunny and I was on the way to the store when the storm came in like a roaring demon. Very bazaar!
I've got to go now and drive into Roseburg to do some banking and check on my parents. My Dad is doing better and we are hopeful for more time with him! When I get back I will do a little more on my Mermaid Princess. Yay! I'm in zee mood for art! Heck, I'm always in the mood for art!!!
As I work on her today, I will remember those in Japan who so need love and support through this horrific tragedy that has befallen them. It's a little strange that I am working on my mermaid while remembering the tsunami's destruction. Maybe I can think of her bringing soothing peace to the ocean and to those who are so devastated...
Until next time, keep the pencil and brush moving!
Forever in art, Jessica

It's dreadful the disasters that are happening at the moment. I look out of the window on this beautiful sunny day we have here and know how very lucky I am and how easily life can change in a second.
Your mermaids are wonderful! I'm enjoying watching your process. :) xx

happy to see that you are in your zone and are able to go in your studio and forget a bit the outside world...it is good for you to stay tune with that part of you...

Gosh it must have been really scary having the roof go like that. Even more so with two animals who don't know what is happening.
Your mermaids are lovely and the line work is superb as always.
Are they Golden fluid acrylics in the picture, I love these but find them a little expensive for everyday use, but then your work is so good it is worth it.
Thanks Jess!
I hope your Dad and mermaid ;) are doing well! xoxo
Oh, I hope the weather has calmed down for you!! Wow.
Your mermaids are amazing...I can't believe all the detail on the drawing! The tail and seaweed...wowee!! Gorgeous!!
Oooh.... I LOVE when trees are full of blossoms! I just posted a photo of one..how funny!
Hey... did you cut your hair, or was it this short before? It's very cute.
