"Not everything is a mermaid that dives into the sea."
                                                              ~Russian proverb

And not every mandala looks like one. This one was inspired by mermaids and the mysteries of the sea. It's a self-portrait as a mermaid. Wishful thinking on my part since I am not a water baby. Almost drowning as a baby didn't help or being caught in a riptide in the Bahamas.  The truth is; I won't venture into any body of water where I can't feel the bottom and it must be bathtub tepid. The Gulf Shore was calm and warmish but it did not entice me in, at least not all the way like my friend/mermaid, Francesca. I swear she's  grown a flipper. The salt water pool and hot tub suited just fine for this fiery triple Leo.
