The Jennifer
276. THE JENNIFER - A black ink and black color pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size coquille board. It appears in the book, "Anita," by Keith Roberts, published by Owlswick Press, 1990
A "Jennifer'" is a mermaid, and I sure have drawn and painted a lot of mermaids over the years. In fact, the first painting I made during my learning years was a copy of Andrew Loomis' mermaid from his book, "Creative Illustration," which appears here as item 2.
There are actually 6 mermaids on this website, 3 are paintings. But I have painted at least 5 other mermaids that do not appear on this website, they were made for clients who asked me to paint one for them. For each one of those the challenge was in creating a complimentary but different setting in which to place the mermaid.
