Fish or Cut Bait Painting

We have all had times in our lives when we realized we were at a turning point and must make a decision that would be irreversible. These feelings of pressure, excitement, fear, adventure? All are expressed through Mermaid Madonna, and her ambivalence is evident when we examine her surroundings. First of all, where is she? The five portholes visible running across the top third of the canvas tell us that she is submerged underwater. This is a transitional place for her because though her feet are dry, she is definitely immersing herself in the ocean. She just isn’t quite ready to give up those heels as a trade-off for unfurling her tail! Another clue that she has not committed to a permanent life under the sea is the diving helmet near her tail. This is a subtle reminder of the effects of too much baggage which occurs when one refuses to let go by making the tough decisions.
