About the cover
Her face is silvery in the moonlight while fish inhabit her deep blue tresses. This mystical woman is wistful and lovely. “This is a fantasy,” says artist Marita Peña Mora. “I depict a woman who lives in the water and fish accompany her as though they were flowers or adornments. I tried to reflect the peace and harmony of an underwater world, the union of the moon and the abundant fish.”
Moon Woman. Oil on canvas, 16.7” x 24.8”, Marita Peña Mora. Marita’s paintings can be viewed and purchased at www.novica.com.
