Finally gave my mom her requested mermaid for Christmas. Started it over a year ago, lost interest, but tried to be a good daughter this Christmas and give it to her instead of a photo of the process. Had originally planned on lots of detail, but, I'm a lazy bastard so dear old mom got a painting intentionally left unfinished in areas. Next time I paint something requested by my mother, I'm going to work wayyyyyyyyy smaller. Sorry mom, fantasy just isn't really my thing...
(Black and White version, what I wish I could change it to.)
Still can't decide which way it should hang.
At least it looks better than the underpainting.
