Her scales on her fin weren’t cooperating like I planned so I decided to blend some paints together to try to make it look as scale-like as possible and then moved to her hair to give my girl some low lights and touch up the body color.
I knew the mermaid and I weren’t in a fight anymore when the paint on her forehead started to run so I wiped it away and it made me laugh because it felt like I was wiping away her sweat so then I put my cup of water in front of her and said Girl, you’re dehydrated, drink some damn water and then I laughed even harder and that was the moment I realized I was the one who was dehydrated and delirious and decided to call it a day.
I’m glad she and I made up. Hopefully it’ll be easy painting from here on.
I am still considering giving her a Batman tattoo on her wrist but I don’t know who my brother out law would like that…….I think I’m going to have to do it and just wait for him to find it later hahaha
A few years ago, I found myself in a severely abusive relationship. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression all because I allowed a man to hurt me this badly, physically and mentally. One night after a night terror, I woke up feeling the panic attack on its way. By this point, I was sick of allowing that relationship to have so much control over my life. I wanted to be me again. Not a victim. Not a survivor. Just me. So, this time I reached for a canvas and the closest paint I had and began painting. From that I felt control again. I felt empowered. I felt SAFE.
