Description
Finally, after a long hyatus a new piece!I made this as my blogger's banner...now I just have to make it fit in there nicely.
At the stroke of 5, the young Duke invited his fiance to have tea at his family's residence. Needless to say, his parents were surprised.
Hope you like it.

Hi, Astera! My name's Diana, I'm web master of a Facebook page where I share my passion for Mermaid Art, in all its manifestations, from traditional medias to photography and digital. As you can see, I always recognize the author and if it's possible, include the technique used, year and finally a link back to promote the artist, in that way more people know her/his entire job and not only the related to mermaids. I've featured this piece on the album titled "Illustrations" but, if my action means a bother, please let me know and I'll move it away immediately. Regards! Here's my link:

I agree, the background is beautifully done, though I might say that in terms of perspective one can see too much of the top of the seat on the striped couch (that may or may not be true, I have the toughest time with perspective).
I love all the details in this, they create such a great contrast of the civilized setting and the wildness of the sea that she embodies.

Thank you Serafina! Of course you are right, there are a few perspective errors...I am too lazy to apply the rules (which I am not sure I know too well either). So I'll say that the artist intended to put special emphasis on the main subject and that the skewed perspective intensifies the general unsettling feeling of having a magical water creature in the middle of a well-to-do old style setting..
Was I convincing? If not, I promise to work harder on the prospective next time!

Very convincing I also hate perspective, it's so tedious.

I love perspective in other people's drawing and I always say to myself I should work on it, but then...you know how it is...
BTW I see your B-Day is coming up! Before I forget...Best wishes and have a great time on this special occasion!

Thank you! I love watching movies that take place in the late 19th early 20th century. The decor is really fascinating and has influenced me a lot.

Yup, I never imagined I would draw so many mermaids in my life!
Somebody here on DA gave me the idea of drawing one...and now I can't stop! The fact that my blog is called "The mermaid in the living room" does not help either! Glad you are not bored by them yet!

Oh bene, non so se la famiglia tradizionalista di cui e' ospite abbia nella sua peraltro vasta collezione questo gusto particolare, ma sono sicura che nel caso la nostra mermaid apprezzerebbe..
