Twisted Silhouettes-Victorian Mermaids

Why can't mermaids be more proper and ladylike?  Here are my two mermaids in silhouette, each with a companion.  I owe some inspiration to Rob Ryan for the backgrounds.  One is "Topsy Turvy" and the other is "Lovey Dovey."  I like the idea of a mermaid with a parasol (to keep the sun off her skin, of course!).

both of these are available at my Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BarkingMadArts
