Weeki Wachee Mermaid, Oil Painting Inspired by Vintage Florida Postcard by Judy Batterson

A fun 5x7 oil painting inspired by an old vintage Florida postcard. Before Disney World came to Florida, this was an exciting family trip to go see the mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs. This area is now a state park, and the mermaid shows have resumed. Quite an experience to see these swimmers, fish tail and breathing tube! $75 (framed) at the Orlando Museum of Art Museum Shop.

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.
