Years ago I did a mermaid series and have been wanting to revisit them again with a new perspective. This time taking inspiration again from Japanese culture where in more modern times the koi or long tailed goldfish have become a universal symbol of peace (a yin yang symbol) ☯️ along with my nod to the zen (enso) symbol of hope. 

The buyer of this painting asked if I could name this piece after his daughter and grandma (Lucy) how beautiful is that 💚 I am honoured that he has chosen one of my paintings to dedicate to two special ladies in his life 🥰

'Lucy' has a base layer of torn music sheet paper glued onto the canvas. I then build up layers of shading with pencil for the delicate facial features, pointillism with acrylic paint for her hair and background which gives each piece texture and depth.

Signed and dated on the back and comes with a Certificate of Authentication.

This piece is created on a 40mm frame-wrapped canvas, sealed with fixative and a triple gloss coat, gallery-finished edges, ready to hang.
