Sneak preview! New Bellydancer mermaid original watercolor painting!

Hi everyone! I finally have a chance to post on my blog, after being busy working on a lot of new illustrations and finishing up other projects. Here is an exclusive sneak preview on the latest original watercolored painting I am working on. It was created with waterproof inks and watercolors on bristol board. It is 14 by 17 inches in size. It is a big and beautiful painting, with lots of details. Sketching and inking this painting took more than ten hours, and I am not finished yet! It is a work in progress. I was inspired by my passion for dance, which includes belly dancing. :) This painting shows a beautiful belly dancing mermaid, with a lovely pink fish tail, who loves to spend time in her beautiful rose garden in the depths of the crystal blue seas. She loves to wear a jingly golden coins belt and many different types of golden jewerly, covered with colorful precious stones all over her body. She is holding a beautiful blooming pink rose in her hand, and has a smile on her face, as she is very happy to see so many roses! Rose Garden belly Dancing Mermaid: Here is a close up: I am also working on a few digital art projects with my wacom tablet, so I am finishing this illustration when I have some free time from my other projects. Painting mermaids with watercolors always relaxes me. :) Also, don't miss out on new aceo paintings, now on auction at: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZsexyartgirl And new Limited ACEOS, series 2 are now available at: http://sexymermaid.etsy.com/ Start collecting them now, before they are sold out!
