Mermaids by Pennsylvania Artist Kolene Spicher

Mermaids, Mermaids, Mermaids

Here is the set of mermaids that I painted recently.  I had blogged about them a bit earlier; 

however, I had not included pictures of the paintings with frames.  Here they are! 

Strolling 

When I go to the beach, I always take a stroll on the boardwalk.  I love watching the people, swimmers, and birds. 

Shelling 

When my boys were young, we always made sandcastles and took early morning walks on the beach looking for shells.  

Fishing 

Each summer we went to the beach, one of my stops always included talking to the fisherman along the shoreline.  Truthfully, I never seen these guys actually catch anything.  I guess I just didn't time it correctly.  It was always great fun watching, though. 

Swimming

This one cracks me up!  Look at her with that cellphone!  Tell me that doesn't go on all the time on the beach, my instagram is full of such beach activity.  The selfie is here to stay.

Eating 

Then there is the proverbial eating that goes on.  It's a real problem today on our boardwalks and beaches, why?  Birds.  There's actually a law now in New Jersey, you cannot feed the birds!  They swoop down and dive bomb the ones with food in their hands.  It can be quite alarming. 

Watching 

This is probably my greatest pastime that I enjoy on the beach, people watching.  Bird watching, too, is quite fun; except, if they are busy dive bombing, then it is an out for me! Look at the water  I am loving that blue. 

Finally, here's an order that I just finished for a customer on the other side of the USA.  I love this mermaid. 

 I love the feathered edge and the glass is floating between the two pieces of moulding creating a cavity between the glass and the paper painting!  

Thanks for looking! 

Enjoy 

PS, message me if you are interested in any of these pieces!
