Poem About Painting A Mermaid Canvas

Like the sea itself, there is a current and flow to painting a mermaid canvas.

The swirl of the artist's brush, the fluidity of the paint, even the maelstrom of a painter's thoughts all conjure up a mighty ocean in constant movement.

Brushstrokes

Oft depicted in mermaid art
Graceful, flowing, worlds apart
A classic beauty both strong and frail
Silken mane entwining body and tail

Beautiful siren of the seas
Awash in color, an artist's tease
Circular strokes in perpetual motion
On canvas she's born, a goddess of the ocean
