This piece was done for the Enchanted Artists book "Visions of Atlantis", and has been chosen for the cover of that book. Info on the book follows my art description.
THE ART
11x17" Watercolor and colored pencil on watercolor block.
Sort of a spin on the Little Mermaid tale, but in this, a merman falls in love with a statue of a woman long gone. Perhaps even an ancestor? A ruined city under the waves surrounds them.
And, hey! Knotwork! Who'd a thunk it? There's a couple of shots of this in progress in my scraps section.
THE BOOK
A stunning collection of art and poetry from over fifty well-known and emerging artists, with an introduction to the Enchanted Artists by Jessica Galbreth and a history of Atlantis by Beth Hansen. Cover by Michelle Parker. 86 pages, 58 are in color. Soft-cover, 8-3/8 x 10-7/8 inches, edited and produced by Ellen Million Graphics. Official release date: September 1. Pre-orders may be sent earlier. For one book, US shipping is $5.00. For 2-10 books, shipping is an additional $5.00. For more books and overseas orders, shipping charges are actual costs, please inquire. Wholesale available.

You can see it? I just uploaded it and can't find it in my gallery. I think I just got bit by the "dissapearing deviation" bug that's going around. Well, at least SOMEONE can see it. Thanks!
Michelle, this is wonderful!!! I soo love the spin you put on this. And he stands out soo well against the muted background. Poor merman. All the details are awesome and amazing!!!!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example.
