Mer Mum and Comb

Mer Mum and Comb by Sushila Burgess A scenario that is all too well-known to every parent of a school-age child, and yet so little represented within the sphere of fine art!
Here, this familiar domestic activity is transposed to an underwater fantasy world, where a mer family hover on the ocean bed amongst clumps of sinister green-brown seaweed. The mother drags a comb through her daughter's tangled yellow locks, while the father fingers his scalp anxiously. A bottle of 'Prawn Free' hair-conditioner stands on a nearby rock. A painting that will surely be a 'must' for any aficionado of marine nit-combing themed art!
