Work in Progress Mermaid with Clownfish Painting, Clownfish Fini...

Here is a work in progress view of my mermaid with clownfish painting.  I am pretty much done with the clownfish.  The differences on the monitor from my last update are probably fairly subtle, but I've enhanced some of their shading and added some slightly translucent elements of their fins.  When I get there, I'm going to have some of the mermaid's hair going over the little guy in the lower right hand corner, but some of it is behind, so I had to block some of her hair loosely in for the translucent bits...

It's my birthday today and my mother and I are going to go to Descanso Gardens or the Norton Simon Museum of Art (two of my favorite places).  Today is also the Winter Solstice.  Happy Winter's Solstice to you if you celebrate it!
