macaron, mermaids and mint

I've been painting, sketching, photographing up a storm in the Blue Room! Taking inspiration from our balcony herb garden, favorite French sweets and American folk music, the themes are as varied as the mediums used to create them. Coming to www.etsy.com (ASAP!)

Macaron, watercolor on French book page mounted on paper, 2013
Trois, watercolor on paper, 2013
The Mermaid, mixed media with acrylic on canvas, 2013

"'Cause her hair was as green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
I loved that girl with all my heart
I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail."

from a sea shanty, "The Mermaid"
The Green Willow Tree, acrylic on canvas board, 2013

From a ballad bought to America by the early colonists. The Green Willow Tree is supposedly about  the famous British sea captain Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618)
