Well, last week's post did not exhaust
the mermaid theme for me.
I need to show you some exquisite
mermaid art by the contemporary
Russian-American artist Victor Nizovtsev.
I love how the light glints off
his mermaids' shimmery scales --
And I love how the artist
has an appreciation for the beauty
of full-figured mermaids too!
Her Royal Highness the Cat
is particularly taken with the above photo
because she has a thing
for purrmaids.
A serious thing!
Remember my terra cotta Mexican mermaid
featured in last week's post?
She came with her own purrmaid too!
How could I resist bringing them
home with me to Canada?
HOW?

The curvaceous redhead is my favorite
I don't know why, but much like Dolly Parton, mermaids make a day feel happier.
I do love mermaids. Was on Mermaid Avenue in Coney Island yesterday. Would love to be here in June for the annual mermaid parade.
LOVE mermaids.
Love them. I'm right now obsessed with Mermen. I'm desperately looking for M/M fiction with mermen. I have a person in Half Price Books doing research for me. LOL
XOXO
These are wonderful! Both the mermaids and purrmaids! I especially love the curvaceous mermaid with her cat and her teapot.
The globes of light remind me of the John Singer Sargent painting 'Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose.'
Ohhh I love a kitty as a mermaid!!
Wouldn't be a single fish left if mermaid cats existed
Love Victor’s work. It is hard to imagine how he achieved the shimmering effect!
Beautiful mermaid art! Love the scales, the reflected shimmer
Aw, the purrmaid. So cute!
I'll bet HRH is trying on a gold studden mermaid tail now.
Cheers, Debra.
What beautiful art! I like the shimmering scales, their ethereal pelvic fins, curly pearl-studded hair and the artist's appreciation of Rubinesque mermaids!
Purrmaids? How cute are they? I'm not surprised that HRH is enamoured with their glitzy, jewel-encrusted accessories, but I am surprised that she likes swimming in WATER, LOL!
You can never have too many mermaids {or purrmaids!}
Amazing artwork! Nizovtsev's use of color and light is perfection. The purrmaids are adorable!
Purrmaids!! Who would have thought? I love the one with the rollers in her hair… very classy. Cute post
These mermaids are special, what I will imagine when I think of mermaid now.
Oh, that Kliban.
I love that att the mermaids have curly hair.
Piggybacking on what Adam wrote, a cat mermaid might try to eat its own tail!
Those mermaids are beautiful. Thank you.
It would be very handy to be a purrmaid, you could catch fish a lot more easily than in complete cat form! 😂
The shimmering painted mermaids are so beautiful. I love your little Purrmaid too.
Be careful what you wish for! Today's lesson for me was all about Aurora, goddess of dawn. So i quickly went into an internet rabbit hole. Anyway, mermaids are ok i guess.
I learned a little about that. You would be surprised about Greek mythology. It is very surprising and detailed.
Mermaids are great. I don't think it is fair, what happened with Titon, but who am i to speak?
I love this so much..
I love mermaids. Bit they're much darker than you'd think.
Cat in the sand posing - best one
Purrmaids are completely new to me.
LOL, Debra !~ The mermaid and purrmaid are definitely irresistible! How could you not bring them home? I can't believe that someone got a cat to pose buried in the sand. That's impressive, and the cat looks so content! Victor Nizovtsev's paintings are striking and lovely. I'll be back to catch up. Take care!
I was not familiar with that art but I really love his work. Magical plus size mermaids.
Debra, these are gorgeous. I especially love anything with cats in it, so that purrmaid is quite delightful!
Of course a mermaid would have a mercat.
the Ol'Buzzard
I like the mermaid cats.
I have a rather curvy mermaid that hangs in my kitchen window. She adds cheer and happiness to my house.
That purr-maid is too cute! Thanks for introducing me to cool, new-to-me, art!
