My name is June Goulding, and I am an illustrator in the UK who usually creates happy pictures for children’s picture books. For the Ripple appeal I painted a weeping mermaid. If there really are any mermaids (and I hope there are) they must surely be weeping.
The Ripple card is a signed archival digital print on art paper, and the final printed image size will be 3 x 3.5 inches with a white border.
The original watercolour artwork size 6 x 7 inches is also up for sale, with the money going to one of the animal rescue charities on Ripple. Details of how to bid for the original artwork are on my blog: http://junegoulding.blogspot.com/2010/06/illustration-friday-ripple.html
Each card is available for a $10 donation. See details at right.
I gotta tell ya- this one got me. All verklempt here. - surely the mermaids are crying. -Kelly
