The Story: When I was growing up on Mexico Beach in Florida one of my friends had seahorses in a salt water tank. It was mesmerizing to watch them swim around - so very different from a fish. I was amazed that the boys were the ones that had to carry the eggs until they were hatched. Sometimes when seaweed is out just past the breaking waves at the beach you can scoop up some and find baby critters that have been clinging to the grass/seaweed for safety. I have found seahorses, baby puffer fish (about an 1/8 inch round looking like a pearl when puffed up) and baby crabs. Don't ask my sister about the baby crab that thought that her swimsuit was more seaweed - she was not amused!!

The inspiration for this painting came from seeing so many brightly colored and unusual seahorses at an aquarium. I let my imagination run free while bringing this brightly colored sea horse to life. ​The Mermaid Sand fans on Facebook were a great help. Be sure top like that page, or the newly created on for Seahorse Gallery to stay in touch and find out what is new to the site.

The original painting is stretched canvas on 3/4" wood and can be framed. The prints are a matte finish on high quality paper, shipped flat or in a tube, depending on size. All items have our 100% guarantee.
