Here goes another try. This time she'll have a face and two hands! And yes GMAN there are bobbies...

Here's the sketch of the mermaid. I couldn't find any reference photos so I grabbed an art model book and some imagination and went to work.

Here's the start with the oil paints and the next few stops along the way. And yes I know your not supposed to put things on corals cause it can kill them - I'll let the mermaid know next time I see her -or maybe I'll paint a nice grassy spot around the treasure chest...
