Mermaid and Manatee

This painting is another fantasy reality scene. Manatee are endangered and their numbers are being reduced by engine propelled boat rudders offshore Florida waters. Mermaids have disappeared altogether due to human beings losing their illusions about myth and metaphor, while holding tight to the rudders of materialism in the name of science. In this painting each entity of a disappearing world unites together in farewell.
