A Mermaid's Prayer:
CLEAN WATER FOR THE PLANET

This image is another of my more 'realistic' images of
the mermaid form, a mixed media drawing, enhanced
by digital means.

During recent years I have dedicated a number of my
works to the ideal of 'CLEAN WATER FOR THE PLANET.'
Perhaps to some this may be very idealistic, especially as
we have entered into a time period when toxins in the water
are on everyone's mind, and people are seeking a practical
solution to the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, etc.

Aphrodite Born of a Conch Shell

Botticelli's famous painting of the birth of Aphrodite

sees her born of a clam shell. The legend has been modified

on the Moon, where the postal administration of the lunar

republic sees the goddess born of a conch.
