New Painting - Playful Mermaids!

I completed this new painting using a variety of new techniques.  With wet gesso, I transferred a photo I took onto a canvas, then applied gloss gel over it.  Before the gel dried, I gave the piece some texture by dipping into it with a paint brush.  I then applied some glass bead gel into some of the crevices and painted the piece in layers.  I'm pretty happy with it, but am having a problem properly photographing it - all photos came out blurry.  Then I realized that I could scan it.  ....I'm not too happy with the results, but it's all I have for now.  I want to get a proper scan done so that I can sell prints of this piece.

It's entitled Playful Mermaids:



....see what I mean about the photo/scan quality?
