MERMAN! LAND OF ENCHANTMENT AND MYTHS..

I googled so I could tell you the right stuff...
In Greek mythology, mermen were often illustrated to have green seaweed-like hair, a beard, and a trident. In Irish mythology, mermen are described as extremely ugly creatures with pointed green teeth, pig-like eyes, green hair, and a red nose. In Finnish mythology, a merman (vetehinen) is often portrayed as a magical, powerful, handsome, bearded man with the tail of a fish. He can cure illnesses, lift curses and brew potions, but he can also cause unintended harm by becoming too curious about human life.
The actions and behavior of mermen can vary wildly depending on the source and time period of the stories. They have been said to sink ships by summoning great storms, but also said to be wise teachers, according to earlier mythology. A merman, like a mermaid, attracts humans with singing and tones.
Mermen are rarely seen marrying human women; when this happens the merman's new bride becomes a mermaid. After parenting other mermaids or mermen the new mermaid may feel homesick for her family and friends and demand to be set free, after which the merman would have to find another bride


For years I had dreams that I would swim with my fish, some of them looked like Petunias. Today, first I found the Merman. Then, I found the Petunia, and I realized I was re-creating part of my dream. This is really busy for an ATC card. Its my second try at them. I really love doing the Artist Trading Cards!

When you think of it, how can there be Mermaids without Mermen?
