* Martha from iLove2paint: face #21 of 29

As I was working on the kitty painting of my last post, I realized I was going to have left over paint and I simply cannot stand wasting paint. There are many ways to use the left over paint and this is one of my favorites:

I wish the colors looked as in the journal, but my scanner is acting up.
The background is a very subtle blue gray, not aqua.

She could've been a mermaid if I had continued to paint...
