LAKE MERMAID

One often reads about mermaids of the sea, but what of the freshwater mermaids? Here is one that lives in a lake high in the mountains.

The original illustration is approximately 7.5"x9.5" and was created with airbrush, pen and ink, and colored pencil.
The poem on the back of the notecards for this image is:

Where Earth gently collides
with lake and sky,
she lives a life of dreamy possibilities, contemplating waterless flight
in the crisp mountain air.
