What could be better than Whimsy and Angels? Angelic Mermaids - possibly?
I Found a beautiful angelic face within an ICON in my favorites on Etsy. The tiny button sized image stood out amongst the 400+ other tiny images, so I had to click through the rabbit hole to see what was on the otherside.
Look at what was there! These are deemed as "Folk Art" in style by Jane, but these must be the deepest and richest folk art images I have ever seen. When you look at the faces on these mermaids you wish they were dolls so that you could sqeeze them. They were created with such dimension.
From Jane's Profile on Etsy.com:
"I have enjoyed painting for 37 yrs. I am basically self taught but have studied art on my own & taken classes. I am a member of the Folk Art Society of America & Swell Sister Society, a new group of Sacramento women artists.
My art has been sold all over the US and internationally. In addition to my love for painting, I am a crafter. I learned to crochet at age 7. I was mesmerized by Japanese sparkly yarn!
This was the beginning of a lifetime of crafting! I enjoy crochet, knitting, sewing, embroidery & other needlework, perfume making, cake decorating, wood crafts, clay work & decorative painting.
So in addition to my paintings you never know what you might find (...under CampbellJane on etsy)!
My art is inspired by sweet things in my life, my loving family , my friends and sometimes by my goofy sense of humor. My life is filled with music, artful things & loving people."
