This painting was inspired by my niece and nephew. Their imaginations let them escape to worlds where they are daring, brave, and in control. Not even the biggest monster can deter this hero from rescuing the princess Areti. Gazing at him with admiration, Areti is confident that they will find their way through every obstacle.

The inspiration for this painting started during a trip to the rocky coasts of California. After viewing the crashing waves at sunset I wanted to recapture that same feeling. This is the second painting in a series depicting the rich imaginations of children. At this age, life is a steady stream of discoveries. Anything seems possible, even meeting a magical creature during your next adventure.

Except for a pencil sketch of the mermaid, this piece was painted entirely in Photoshop. Comments are welcome.
