Nautilus

Nautilus by Anne-Marie Broughton

Nautilus

Coloured pencil, metallic acrylics on paper.
Magical fair folk lie hidden inside the Nautilus – related to mermaids, they are shy gentle creatures.
Perhaps you will see one deep beneath the waves or hiding in a rockpool, next to the periwinkles.

Nautilus belongs to the following groups:

Fantasy Art, Mermaids and mystic creatures, Underwater & Sealife and Video Montage Group

    Thanks so much Jo! She was a very popular image at the recent Medieval Fair in Adelaide. It’s a fairly personal picture about coming out of my shell, with references to growing up in a seaside town (Port Lincoln). :)
