El Camino Artist of the Week
This is what Ilaina had to say about her painting:
"This is an inspired painting from E.C. Fortune. I took the original painting's title and expanded it. The title of the original painting is "Pirates Cove," so I turned it into an actual cove with a pirate ship in the corner and a scared mermaid running away. This comes from my love of Peter Pan.
