Only Mermaids

Mermaid, Mermaid on the wall, Who's the fairest of them all? 

Sorry about the Resolution on this one! 

I have some mermaids going out the door this afternoon, and I thought it would be fun to post a bunch of different ones that I have painted over the years. 

This one is in my personal master bath area

I painted this years ago for Nantucket Country!  This is a huge print of my work.  I love to look at it over the tub.  It just seems to go well.  Check out the Spicher and Company Vintage Vinyl floor covering! (Above). 

Again a little blurry! This says "Pray Fish!"

I cannot honestly tell you when I did this.  It goes way back.   I happened to keep this one because I liked it.  I have had it for years.  I loved her tail, especially! 

I have this one for sale on ETSY.  I think it might need a different frame… 

These two are going out soon!  They both are sold, bottom one is a print! "Nantucket Stroll!"  Let me know if you want a print of any of these.  I don't have the one with the two girls directly above.  

This one might just be my favorite!  One of my favorite customers bought her, too.  Things that I love…The tail, the body language, and the message!  "A new Beginning!" 

Thanks for looking!

Custom Mermaid Painting - Treasure of the Sea - Post 2

Treasure of the Sea 

Frame has a strong mint cast that makes the Sea Puppies stand out! 

It's been a while since I have had the chance to post.  Please don't think I am not working!  I am busy working a little each day on these lovelies!  

The colors are coming across a little deeper than the original. 

I had a few glitches trying to photograph this.  I took it outside and brought it in, trying to get the colors correct.  Let's just say it's close and leave it at that. 

This is a good one because it shows the mint frame against white.  

Nothing is set in stone with this painting.  I have NOT varnished it.  I am waiting on the customer to see if she wants to change anything….including the frame color. 

Here it is with some of my KEEPERS.  (But, Not the ship in the gold to my left~I am waiting on antique glass)

You can see, the colors all meld, which is always my goal.  That way (if I am fortunate), I can sell multiple paintings to the same customer and have a flowing that is truly "Kolene Spicher." 

Another OUTSIDE shot. 

I love the little dogs.  The dog on the right goes with the girl on the right, and the same for the dog on the left.  The Little White Dog has an "Anchor" around his neck…so sweet. Hey, maybe I should manufacture dog anchor collars! 

Painting wouldn't be complete without my sailor MEN.  

I usually do similar backgrounds on my mermaids.  Let's just say it's become my 'trademark'.  

Love the coral bouquet! 

There are so many little details about this painting!  I really love it.  The SCRIPT in the ocean says it all! Nothing is quite like THE TREASURES OF THE SEA.
