Ignore the numbers! My camera does that! These were both painted over other paintings, so they retain the textures of the originals... but I kind of like the effect. Both done on small canvases with acrylic paint.

This one was done quite a while ago, but I still like it.

I did this one REALLY quick for my friend who wanted something ocean-y for her room. Well, it's abstractly ocean-y, I guess?
Oh, I wish I was punk-rocker with flowers in my hair.

I'm speechless here. I'm not an expert in painting but I'll try my best to give a good review. The first one looks magical with the sun being reflected on water and the mermaid is angled just the right way. The second one is a little hard to understand. But here, again, you've done the background with beautiful colors. I can't imagine how many colors you might have mixed here. And I understand that the person is swimming upwards. I'm only confused about the thing beneath him. Is it a creature or are they rocks? Whatever they are, they sure are colorful. :) Lovely paintings.

I really love the colors of these! The first one looks kinda dark and murky, and the second looks so soft.

Not an expert on this stuff, so I won't go into detail, but these are great!

I don't quite know what's going on in the second one, it looks like sky and flowers though. Maybe you could flesh out the person or add some birds or something. On the first pic, maybe some fish or sea plants would've looked cool.

Great job!

Oh wow, I love these, especially the mermaid painting! I like the detail on her fishy tail :D

I am no good at painting so I don't know what to tell you that would help, but this is great!

Although I might have liked there to be a few fish here or there in the surrounding water, because the rest of the canvas it just empty space.
