This is an illustration Patrick made for me a long time ago. I remember getting super excited about it and putting it in a special place. But it was “too much” of a special place because I lost it! I didn’t have the heart to tell him. He would ask me “So, what are you going to do with that mermaid picture?” And I’d say, “I haven’t decided yet! It’s so beautiful, I just can’t think!”
This week we have been cleaning out our art studio to make room, and create fresh energy for our exciting, upcoming projects. I walked in there this afternoon and sitting on my art table was the mermaid illustration!
“Heh-heh…thanks!” I said real sly, not knowing how Miss Mermaid came about.
“I found it in a stack of cool scrapbook papers that you had hid at the bottom of the box, under my desk,” he said.
“Yup! I put it there so I wouldn’t lose it!”
He looked at me like, “Yah, right…”
Anyway, I wanted to do something with it now, just in case I happen to put it in another special place in the future. Hopefully, I won’t.
