I made this picture for my Mum's birthday, one of the art movements she really loves is art nouveau so I tried to add a frame behind the figure https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-xJXxcNar1WI%2FUh7i41pLA1I%2FAAAAAAAAC9g%2Ff7fNMn7tq1c%2Fs1600%2Fmucha-1898bx.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=db71134d14f8fe1cc0921c0a22bf590c16a3af6d990b1666c752b427101f872d&ipo=images and also since she is also a Pisces I thought I'd make this water themed by having the woman be a mermaid. And this might seem a little silly but a while ago my Mum had spotted an ai art painting pretending to be a old classical painting and one of the ways you can tell it was ai art by how weirdly the woman in that painting was holding the harp, i.e it was completely wrong and impossible! XD So I decided to have the mermaid playing the harp but this time hopefully drawn better, so I used this image of a woman playing a harp as ref for both the harp and her hands http://www.drinksreceptionmusic.ie/drinks-reception-entertainment/irish-harpist/
I've just shown my Mum this piece and she was really happy with it! 🥹🥹🥹 and told me that I could share this on my socials! My Mum has always been so supportive of all of my artistic endeavors, even when I was feeling so low about my art skills and that encouragement has really helped me get to where I am in my art and writing today and I'm so happy to have made her Birthday special by gifting her some art she really loves and wants to hang on her wall! 🥹🥹🥹
