Painted by Sandra Chang-Adair, this lovely mermaid leads her handsome prince under water among beautiful lily pads. In my un Hans Christen Anderson version of the little mermaid fable, she survives and lives happily ever after with the prince. She is wearing a gorgeous bejeweled ruby bra (which she made and it rivals any Victoria Secret million dollar bras LOL).

I was inspired by the talented Maureen O'Hara when I created the heroine. She is a red-haired actress from the 1940's and1950's and played many fiery damsels. I remember her from A Miracle on 34th Street, the old Hunchback in Notre Dame and Parent Trap. She played a musketeer in At Sword's Point and a pirate in Against All Flags with Errol Flynn. I love Errol and I based the hero on him. He is characterized by his pencil thin mustache and reckless, devil-may care attitude. He is best known for his swashbuckling movies, the original Robin Hood, Captain Blood, and Sea Hawk.

My husband commented that they must be very small since the lily pads were so gigantic in comparison, but I claimed artistic license since it is a fantasy world to begin with.
