Illustration Friday's website definitely keeps me occupied, but this
time I had a finished illustration, or at least, a detail from a
finished illustration, ready to go. This week's prompt from this
popular art-participation website is "Mermaid". I also started a series
this week, on this blog, of illustrations for The Carnival of the
Animals, an orchestral piece by Camille Saint-Saens. This mermaid
detail image is from one of these illustrations, yet to be unveiled. I
am posting one per week on this blog and on my YouTube channel, Creative
Magic. Check out the video, I'll include the link below.
I
know the classical music aficionados out there are scratching their
heads and wondering, "What's a mermaid doing in the Carnival of the
Animals?" Well, this is a detail crop from one of the illustrations for
this delightful, musical romp through the animal kingdom and you'll
just have to hang in there patiently, until I reveal the larger
picture. And even then, you may say, "This is a travesty!". But that
makes things fun, doesn't it?
So, have a
gander at a mermaid and her platypus friend. (Hey, now, don't start
complaining about the platypus not being in the Carnival. Keep an open
mind, please. This is art, not science, after all. And don't even get
me started on quantum physics.)
Oh, and now I've got a new "minisode" about this up on my YouTube channel.
