Mermaid Nocturne 

At a sacred hot springs a few years ago, profoundly relaxed, this image burned for a moment to my inner vision. The feeling was of blue melancholy, a lonely mermaid… She’s a bit different though, not demure and posing for our gaze. No, this mermaid is athletic, her strong back rippling with muscle… her lower half is not scaled and fish-like, she is part dolphin, and when she swims, nothing can keep up with her.
