Floating
She floats just beneath the surface, her form stretching into long, ribbon‑like trails that move the way water does when touched by a slow current. Blues, greens, and warm hints of orange gather around her, drifting upward like light traveling through deep water. Nothing about her is fixed; every feathered shape seems to waver, as if the sea is deciding where she’ll go next.
The background holds a field of layered blue, textured like shifting tides. Small circular marks scatter across it, reminiscent of bubbles rising or flecks of reflected light. They give the sense of a world in motion—quiet, steady, always changing.
Her body doesn’t follow a strict outline. Instead, it stretches into fluid arcs, more movement than anatomy. She feels like a mermaid caught in a moment of weightless pause, suspended between drifting and rising. The colors warm as they travel upward, echoing the way sunlight filters through water at the end of the day.
The vintage ornate gold frame adds a grounded counterpoint to her fluidity. Its carved scrollwork and beaded detailing hold the scene in place, offering structure around a figure that seems intent on drifting free. Together, frame and painting create a balance between stillness and flow—between the craftsmanship of the frame and the soft, wandering motion of the mermaid within it.
This piece carries the feeling of watching a figure move through water without urgency, guided only by the gentle pull of the tide. It’s a study in drift, in the quiet beauty of a form that chooses to float.
Floating is painted on a 5×7 flat backed panel in water mixable cobra paints and is sealed
The frame is 8×10 and is vintage, it has a small blemish on the top right corner.(there is a picture of it in the images)
