Named after the Zodiac mermaid representation of the Mermaid in a bathtub drinking a glass of wine. That's how this image, this attitude, feels to the artist. It's supposed to be playful and saucy - just like her model who posed for the original photography - so enjoy! Kerry takes inspiration from strong beautiful women from all genres and this particular image reminded her of a bit of a "razzmatazz" attitude.
As with most of Kerry's paintings, she has painted in layers. The background using action painting (expressionistic) techniques - pouring, dripping, splashing paint and involving my body in the painting process rather than just the paint brush. The figure was created using contemporary art pop art techniques and stencils, and a further layer of hand painting brought the foreground and background together. Kerry's palette is colourful and uses strong contrasts to capture a mood of strength.
Painted onto a stretched canvas, the face of the painting measures 90cm x 120cm. Ready to hang and enjoy!
