Then you shall have a bold fisherman to row you on the sea

Rabbit, rabbit! I have just discovered the art of Christina Bothwell. I love this piece, "True Love":



I love the tinier fish inside the glass of them, the hermit crab, the turtle. I love the way they turn toward one another. They look like the couple on the lid of an Etruscan sarcophagus, only mer. This is obviously an aesthetic I can get behind.

I was catching up on Tumblr and all of a sudden like three different people linked photosets of the same artist's work. I love this piece best, but some of the others are also very beautiful. The ones with sea-themes are very good art of the sea.

Wow, that is beautiful.

Wow, that is beautiful.

I love all the different layers in the glass.

Those are so lovely! They have ancient faces, which I think is part of what makes them appeal to me. And the colors and little sea creatures are **great**.

In Nova Scotia, I got to wade between hermit crab contests, with krill tickling my feet. These merfolk would have been at home there.

Yes. I love the change from stone to sea.

That sounds marvelous. I am glad you had that! I need to get to the sea soon.

They made me very happy to discover in the middle of the night.

They do look very Etruscan!

I'm glad it's not just me!

(Now I want something with sea-folk and Etruscans. My brain is telling me I could tie it to the Phoenicians and the Pyrgi Tablets and I am telling it that we have to go to bed.)

[dhampyresa]

I was thinking it even before I read your commentary, even!

(THAT SOUNDS AMAZING. and reminds me I need to PM you about something.)
