The Siren and the Storm


Our new tenants in my ex-studio came to us from a very tiny house previously in which they had to put their washer and dryer in the living room and put a piece of plywood to hide it. They feel very rich in a 900 square foot house. So rich that the lady of the house wanted a painting to decorate her living room wall. And she wanted me to do it. I have painted a mermaid for her because her couch is a dark red-brown and the Caribbean blue will stand out but she is not obligated to buy it. I was able to keep the price down and I have a frame left over from years and paintings ago. She'll see it this weekend.
