Mermay 2024 – Day Twenty-Two – Lagoon

Mermay 2024 – Day Twenty-Two – Lagoon

For today’s prompt, lagoon, I immediately had the idea of sticking with the Hawaiian theme. So, here are some mermaids enjoying a luau at the bottom of a lagoon.

I have very mixed feelings about this one. At first glance, it’s a mess. It’s crowded and the lighting of a sunset through the water doesn’t work. It doesn’t even look like a lagoon. On the other hand, the basic composition with Doris ogling the cowboy merman works, and I like the colors in an abstract kind of way. So, while I think it’s a failure, it’s a productive experiment.
