Description "You have too many pets!"

I think the blonde mermaid is commenting to her friend...there are too many pets in their little cave

I love painting underwater scenes and I've wanted to ever since my Coral Reef painting a couple of years ago. So you can imagine my delight on learning this months theme for *childrensillustrator is 'underwater'.

I overindulged myself with this, its way too busy. But it was so fun, I don't particularly care

This is AMAZING! It must have taken you ages to finish this. I love the bright tropical colors & a coral reef is NEVER too busy, it just means it full of life & extremely healthy

This is truly gorgeous! I especially like all the bright colors and the attention to detail you put into all of this. That school of fish is especially cute. Great job!

I love the detail in this, don't think its too busy at all. Life underwater is full and colorful, this is a wonderful illustration of that.
Bright, swirly and fun.

Absolutely gorgeous piece! Gorgeous colors and great composition. There are so many different things to discover in this painting which makes it really appealing. And I especially love the little clapping turtle!

Thank you! Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop on a painting, if the subjects are something enjoyable to work on this one was like that, just so much fun to work on

I love this picture.
I can almost hear the conversation between the two blonde mermaids...
"There are too many creatures in here."
"Oh there are never TOO many creatures. Just ONE more .. pleeeeeeeeaaaaase..."
And the little brunette one in the bottom is just laying back and daydreaming of grander things in the sea.
The colors and details in this are absolutely fantastic. A real joy to look at.

Thank you so much for your comments, I'm happy you liked this! I imagined the two mermaids in the back having to shift the pets around to find room to rest somewhere, while the girl in the foreground (owner of said pets) can't understand why they're upset

LOL! thanks for your comments...about the ears, I wanted something like a cross between a human ear and that fin you see on a fishes side, the one behind the gills It probably would have helped if I pushed it out more of a fan shape rather than a point, eh?

Thanks for adding me to your watch list, btw...I've been enjoying watching you lately as well, the eye-fish paintings are fantastic

So they can swim by rapid ear movements? Like a Colibri in front of a flower.

Oh, no...now I can't get the picture out of my head...their ears flapping at hummingbird speed Curse you!

No, honestly, I think they swim by batting their eyelashes, the ears are only good for steering left and right.
