Merry Christmas Kolene Spicher Mermaids

Good Things Come In Small Packages

Mermaids posing on a sled for Christmas Picture

I love the holidays and it's an honor

to sell something to someone over Christmas that

you know will be used as a gift. What a privilege.

Today, I am talking about my Christmas Mermaid painting. It's small enough to go in a stocking but too big for my

back pocket!

I love making Santa figurines, too. Here are a few that I made a few years back. The one on the right is a Vallencourt figurine. The two on the left are KOLENE Santas!

The frame on this is nearly perfect. I love it when I find frames that are not fussy and good antiques.

May it be Joyful and White is written along side the sleigh in the snow.

This is sort of reminiscent of some of my Nantucket Paintings that I painted a few years back. Oh how the time seems to passes.

The mantel looks a little distorted, but you can see the little mermaid painting tucked in there between the ship and the whale.

Thanks for looking

and Happy Christmas and New Year to you!

ENJOY,

Victorian Winter Mermaid Town Scene

Snow Taxi

Snow Taxi

I have so much fun painting these winter scenes. While painting this one, I couldn't decide what to call it. After a little thought, I found myself thinking that they looked like they were "waiting" for someone, almost like UBER or a taxi. It was then that I came up with my title Snow Taxi!

Victorian with Fabric liner

I always think victorian when I am painting snow scenes. When I was a young girl in the 60s, this frame must have been in vogue because my mother bought a lot of these frames. She was an artist, too~ SMILE.

I decided that to properly photograph this painting, I would need to hang it. This was one that I thought I had sold, but the customer wanted me to frame it in a lemon gold frame. Because I didn't have one this size, we agreed that I would paint something different for her, making this now available for purchase.

Here is a HEAD on shot. Sorry about the flash.

I have a lot of hard wood flooring in this house. I think that I will let the picture up because it just looks really good! I am going to list the painting on ETSY if you are interested.

29 1/2 X 33 1/2 SIZE

As you can see this is very big. It would fit over a bed nicely or inside a door. I have mine hung inside my front door. With the holidays coming, why not buy a prop!!!

There are a few condition issues with the frame but it doesn't affect the look of this piece one bit. The painting itself is recessed behind the glass which is antique and wavy!

This is not visible at a distance

Like many things in life, when you look at them from a distance, you miss all the details. That is definitely true of this frame. There is so much going on that you don't really notice a chip out here and then. Plus it adds to the over all look of the piece, I think!
