DescriptionA mermaid relaxes contentedly at the bottom of a shallow yellow sea. She blows a small trumpet. Her long black hair contrasts dramatically with her yellow background. Red sea plants grow uniformly across the ocean bottom on a horizontal grid. At the top of the painting a bright blue swath of color indicates the surface of the ocean.
