Well, it just passed in the house so I guess we have her to thank. Hope all her Alaskans are happy with the big ugly bill.

Mermaid number 19: "Mermaid Watching" This is one of my 1st digital mermaid paintings. Painted in 2017 entirely in Adobe Sketch on my tiny 1st Gen iPad Mini. I like how dreamy the sparkling water is. #mermay #blueskynightmarket #mermaidart #etsyartist larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5362...

Mermaid number 18: "Stained Glass Mermaid" Painted exclusively with watercolor in 2017, this is my most special mermaid! Created in honor of my late uncle, a stained glass artist who passed the day before. It's also the logo of my shop #stainedglass #mermay larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5181...

Mermaid number 17: "The Night Siren" painted digitally using Adobe Sketch in 2018. I love the moody vibe of this one, kind of spooky! #mermay #blueskynightmarket #mermaid larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/6143...

Mermaid number 16: "Mermaid Music" I painted this portrait of my sister in 2017 using #gouache and #watercolor She used to play bass in a local punk band. It was a fun piece to paint. #mermay #blueskynightmarket larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5502...

Mermaid number 15: "Pastel Princess" Digital art painted in procreate in the style of watercolor/gouache, 2023. This one was a lot of fun to paint, especially the details like the jewelry and the gold on her fin. 🧜‍♀️ #mermay larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1532...

Mermaid number 14: "Sunbathing Mermaid" Painted this one completely with watercolor at the beach in San Diego. A great day! It was misty that day and the moisture in the air created little dots and imperfections in the paint which I actually love. #mermay larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5382...

"Sleeping in a Sea of Stars" I painted this mermaid in 2018, on Mother's Day while recovering from a recent miscarriage. I remember sitting in the bath for 2 hours visualizing this scene, and wishing I was her and could disappear. Mother's Day is hard for many, and my heart goes out to them. #mermay

"Bathtime in Paris" Happy belated Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! Does anyone else feel like Mother's Day has become a BUSY holiday, but all you really want to do is this? 😆 Original painted w/ watercolor and #gouache in 2017. #mermay larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5172...

#Mermaid number 11: "Ocean Princess" This one was fun to paint all the little glowing details like the starfish and pearls. Not in my scope of abilities to do with gouache -- this is digitally hand-painted using #procreate Took about 15 hours in total larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1671...

Mermaid number 10: "Arctic Mermaid" This one was started in watercolor and gouache, and finished digitally w/ procreate! My first hybrid analog/digital mermaid. It was an enjoyable experience that taught me a lot. #mermay #arcticmermaid #elsamermaid #frozen larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1098...

Mermaid number 9: "Rainy Day Mermaid" This one is kinda moody, but I love it. It's a 2023 digital #redraw from the original 2017 gouache version. I love the look of both equally, but I was happier with the way I was able to control the eye makeup digitally. larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1097...

Mermaid number 8: "Cinco de Mayo Mermaid" Painted with gouache and watercolor in 2017. This one was really fun to paint. Doesn't she look relaxed! 😎🏝️ #mermay #cincodemayo #mermaidart #painting larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1097...

Mermaid number 7: "Mermaid Reading" Painted digitally in 2021 using #procreate I was up in the middle of the night having just fed my infant, and I couldn't sleep. I wanted to paint my happy place, and this image came to mind. I finally finished when the birds started singing, but it was worth it!

Mermaid number 6: "Happy Birthday Mermaid" I painted this with gouache in 2017 for my own birthday! It was my first ever #mermay on IG, and for May 3, it seemed appropriate. She will always be one of my favorites! 💝 #mermaidbirthday #happybirthday larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5153...

Mermaid number 5: "Mermaid Treasure" Hand painted in #procreate in 2018 for the blog everythingmermaid.com Prints available here: larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/6494... #mermay #mermaidtreasure #mermaidart

Mermaid number 3: "Deep Sea Reading" (alternate title: "Book Merm" lol). I painted this digitally in 2023 in procreate on my iPad pro. Each of my procreate digital paintings takes about 12 hours to complete. Many layers painted by hand. Enjoy! #happymermay larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/1720...

Mermaid number 2: "Mermaid Baseball" This is watercolor and gouache. Painted in 2017. #mermay2025 #padres #baseballseason larenaissancegirl.etsy.com/listing/5212...

It's #mermay ya'll! My favorite month of the year. Also my birthday month (it was May 3 😘), so I'm a little behind, but I'm going to post a bunch of mermaids I've painted over the years. Some analog, some digital but NEVER AI! Hope you don't mind the tidal wave of posts. Here they come, chee-hoo! 😅🧜‍♀️
