This is another fantasy painting, showing a mermaid in a fjord.
This painting shows the landscape of a fjord at dusk, with a mermaid sitting on the rocks as she looks up at the birds. This is a painting where I explored colours, textures and shapes a lot, and you can see the result from it. I would perhaps do things differently now, after exploring for a longer time and finding my strokes, but showing the route I started on is very important too. I love the warm shadows and the shaped clouds. I love the rocks in all the different shapes, and the reflections they make in the water. I think I have improved on many parts, but I still love this painting for what it is.
It has a very dreamy atmosphere and feeling to it, and as the title shows, a longing feeling comes beside it. The mermaid is trapped in these waters, and longs for being out of it.
