Mermaids have long been a marvel of feminine mysticism and sensuality. For me part of their allure and magic lies in their ability to be neither good nor bad. I first began to paint mermaids in my early twenties and found of particular interest their bold curiosity and mischievousness. "How to Catch a Sailor," depicts a particular species of mermaid characterized by their flashy red tails. They are a most curious fish amongst sea-maids in that they are rarely spotted in the sea. Rather than cajole and otherwise "catch" a sailor from his ship, the Red Tailed Mermaids seem to place themselves in advantageous locations on land. Seemingly distracted, they then take unabashed delight in luring sailors into their presence.
