Started in 2020, finished this week. Like most of my art, abandoned half way through and forgotten about through multiple moves. Resurfaced and finished. My life is entirely different now; the blue basalt is exactly the same. #kremer #watercolor #geology #earthscience #basalt #rocksarehard

watercolor and ink painting- a mermaid sits in profile on half submerged basalt rock. ink drawing- a mermaid with her hands at her glowing throat while a tear slides down her face. A bit of a direct homage to The Little Mermaid. ink drawing- a mermaid, vignetted against some circles.

#MTGAlchemy
Watercolor painting of Ashling, a woman with a body made of flames, who is pictured dancing. She has a face that resembles a basalt mask, elf-like ears, and horns, all wreathed in fire. She wears a tunic embroidered in gold and a red sash that wraps around her as she twirls. One arm is canted up, another lowered, both are riddled with cracked-lava like patterns that glow hotly. She is conjuring up moon-like symbols from within the flames.

Painted these large watercolors on the ground- no easel. When wind came up my work could blow away. Yes, it happened.
