I painted this Michael Jackson painting to commemorate the 3rd year anniversary of his passing. He is the best entertainer in the world and I still wake up in tears when I dream about him. I believe that he really loved Lisa Marie, so I put her in the painting as a mermaid. She was Michael's muse for his songs of love when they were married. I was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites John Everett Millais' painting of Ophelia (from Hamlet) and John William Waterhouse's Hylas and the Sea Nymphs. If you've never seen these great works of art, I recommend you look them up on the internet. They are most beautiful. Water is a sign of rebirth and Michael is in paradise, lying peacefully and surrounded by lilies and flowers. I hope you like my tribute to Michael. My only wish is for Michael to see my painting from heaven and know that it was painted with love and how much we all miss him. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!
