THE FISHQUEEN
The Fishqueen pines for her true sailor love...

Another 8 X 10 mixed media collage on canvas board. Used the newspaper background with mica watercolors again. The female image is from an old postcard, and the cod fish are from a page I created in Illustrator and cut out. The vintage photo is of my daddy when he was a teenager working on a fishing boat. I think he's probably 15 or 16 here. Yep, that's 1958 on the date. Mom and dad started out YOUNG. That's more of the old tinsel there too, and a lovely pearl jewel from the junk store for The Fishqueen. Sponge stamped accents with mica watercolor, and butterfly wings from a magazine. The star is terra cotta, and the sea shell came from the sea :-)
