Sea Maiden 11 Joy with octopus

Mermaid art and story by Robert Kline

This is a retired print and it is limited in supply, therefore it is currently available in the following matted sizes: 5" x 7", 8" x 10" and an 11" x 17" that comes unmatted on a piece of 1/4" foam board.

This wonderful Sea Maiden print is from a collection of Mermaids, Mermen, Sea babies and pirates created by renowned author and artist Robert Kline of St. Augustine, Florida. The print is a lithograph reproduction of an original pencil and watercolor painting. It has been hand labeled and hand signed by Robert in pencil. All of the prints come with a 1/4" foam backing and the 5" x 7", 8" x 10", 11" x 14" are matted so all you need is a frame and they are ready to hang on your wall! Each of the prints also comes with an excerpt from Robert's novel The Forgotten Voyage of H.M.S. Baci in which Sir Edmund Roberts describes his various Sea Maiden, Sea Master and Sea baby sightings. Thus, you will receive the page from the novel describing the particular event in which the character in the print is sighted. The following is a hint of what was written for this print:

The diving apparatus was crowded and hot; Edmund C. Roberts, the ship’s captain, Jimmy—the chief engineer, his daughter, and the three stowaway children; Sarah, Sue and Marie all occupying the bell’s humid space. It was Edmund’s Christmas gift to them—sharing the ocean floor, as it were—and they were grateful to the extreme. The sea around them was alive with aquatic creatures, but all were transfixed by a Sea Maiden in the embrace of an octopus, “dancing” as they drifted by. “They’re dancing!” Sarah exclaimed. “It’s so sweet,” Sue added. “I think Baby Jesus touched them,” Marie whispered. Jimmy whistled softly and concluded, “Lord above, wouldn’t I love ta have eight hands.”
