I've always been fascinated by mermaids. Since I was a child I used to imagine these wonderful fantastic creatures. These is my pen drawing of a woman(I wish it was me) and a mermaid with green skin sitting in the warm sea water. I've made these drawing in a lonely summer day when I was at the seaside.

Moonlight fantasy
I've made this color pencul drawing yesterday. This is the girl I used to imagine when I read the poems of Mihai Eminescu. I don't know if these girl was a real person of just an ideal woman the poet dreamed of but these poems made me imagine I am there in the forest, in the moonlight with these beautiful girl with golden hair and blue eyes.These is the way I imagine her in the middle of the nature, shining so beautiful in the silver moonlight
