"Gorgona" Color pencil mermaid painting , 11 x 8.5 (21.5 x 27.9cm) 2013 Inspired by one of my favorite Greek folklore stories of Alexander's the Great Gorgona (mermaid) asking sailors one question: "Is King Alexander alive?" If the answer was no she would stir up storms doom ships and every sailor on board Model Reference : http://jaymasee.deviantart.com/ Original and prints available on my website http://www.katerinaart.com/ This is very special to me one of my favorite mermaid stories my grandmother in Greece used to share with me when i was little and loved it many theories and stories surround this gorgona love to illustrate more about this story
