Oh, what a charming set of images that is! One mermaid is dressed in Surya Bonaly silver, and the other is all colorful as if she's the guest of honor at a beach party! And all recursive and reflected and all sorts of other words that begin with "re" :-)
When Surya Bonaly appeared at the Olympics, and performed her unauthorized backflip in competition, she was wearing a pewter/dark-silver colored jumpsuit, which appeared to have been applied with a spray gun, and the contrast between the metallic color and her beautiful brown skin emphasized her strength and dramatic style in motion. Her appearance was as striking as her skating. And your brown mermaid's silvery outfit reminded me strongly of Surya's jumpsuit!
(Okay, maybe I'm not quite as straight as people might think I am...)
She lost points in competitions for not performing as many of the classic jumping spins as was customary. But her legs are so strong, she looks as if she could leap straight up into the air and spin around as many times as she wanted to on the way back down. She showed the world how beautiful iconoclasm can be.
beam Thank you :) I had done another drawing where the rotation went
clockwise and I realized it would have looked better going the other way,
so I made sure to do that in this one.
