A Mermaid's Cave/Kelp as a Health Regimen

                                  Why Mermaids Are So Robust

This mermaid's home gets both fresh air and fresh

seawater, all the better for her secret garden of

kelp.

I myself am fond of the taste of kelp, my muse and

I utilize it as a dietary supplement. Kelp is thirty

seven percent mineral; it's health benefits are many,

such as healing an ailing thyroid, reducing endeme-

triosis, and curbing tumors, etc.

Japanese who stick to traditional diet are very

healthy. It isn't just the fish. The seaweed is a

major factor in their outstanding well being.

Digital Fauvism: Goddess Art

                           
                Painterly Use of Digital Technology

The work to the left demonstrates how the computer of today

can evoke the easel art of yesterday.

This image recalls the works of Fauvist painters like Vlaminck

and Derain. These Fauvists were called "wild beasts" by the

public of their day, because they were not afraid of color.

What they indeed feared was monochrome, and the dark

pigmentation of normative European art.

Matisse began as a Fauve, but developed his own style. Another

famous Fauve was Raoul Dufy. Van Gogh was probably the

single major influence on the Fauvists.

Mermaids of the Inland Waterways

In world folklore, mermaids and mermen are usually of the salt sea

or of lakes, rivers, and springs. Hot springs, especially have been

regarded as being in the care of overseeing spirits, these, of course

being merfolk.

In this image a mermaid profers her hand to an ousel, a creek bird.

John Muir once said that this bird was his favorite of all avian life.

The mermaid above is a Naiad, or freshwater mermaid or undine.
