Against a smooth, shiny, uniform background of colour (#45512B) with a golden hue and a glossy texture, depict the transparent surface of a lake of the same colour with beautiful glints and reflections, blending softly, without distinct edges, into a blurred horizon in the radiant morning mist. On the calm, windless surface of the water, depict several yellow water lilies and a wooden boat carrying two amusing old fishermen who look quite different from one another, but both are wearing glasses and straw sun hats. Straining with all their might, they are holding a single, arched fishing rod between them, from the hook of which, on the line, hangs a comical, caricatured elderly, plump, sleepy mermaid with an iridescent tail, long grey hair curled into ringlets, wearing a white waitress’s apron and a white headband. A cigarette is clamped between the corners of her heavily made-up, full lips, and she is holding a notepad and a pen in her hands. Draw a speech bubble containing the phrase with which she addresses the old men in a familiar tone: ‘What shall we order, boys: carp, catfish, eel or grey mullet?’ Surprise and horror are etched on the old men’s faces, and they look at the waitress in fear. A startled stork flies overhead; in its surprise, it opens its beak, from which a rope with a present—a television set tied with a red ribbon—had been clamped, and the present falls into the water, sending up a splash. Surrealism, light-hearted humour, the grotesque, 2D illustration, magical realism, mixed media, acrylic, oil, pigments. In a style reminiscent of Marius Van Dokkum, Gabriel Pacheco, Angelina Wrona, Wlad Safronow, Tom Bonson, Andrea Vandoni, Bill Carman, Beth Conklin. Without unnecessary details or strange objects.
Two keen, older fishermen in a small wooden boat are fishing on a sparkling, sun-dappled golden lake. And, to their surprise, they pull an elderly mermaid out of the water.
