Diane Mannion, Nautilus Study

Diane Mannion, Nautilus Study, 6x6" oil
      It's difficult to be a daily painter this time of the year... I'm painting daily BUT on much larger paintings that take far longer than a day.  This is the season of big art show competitions and I never feel ready!  But this head study helped a lot for the painting I'm almost finished with now.  This is the captain of Nautilus, a Gulf of Mexico shrimp boat out of Fort Myers, Florida.  Painting is coming out great, by the way!

Weeki Wachee Mermaid, a Vintage Florida Oil Painting by Judy Batterson


Weeki Wachee Springs was quite a big attraction in Florida from the 1940's -70's. The mermaid show was great underwater entertainment. Mermaids used tubes of air as they performed gracefully. Today Weeki Wachee Springs is a State Park and has Florida's only spring fed water park, along with canoes, kayaks,and a revival of the mermaid shows. 5 x 7" original oil.
