MerMan | MerMaids abound on Martha's Vineyard, but so do MerMen, and chances are they are fishing the Derby this fall. This piece playfully celebrates men of the sea, be they boatsmen, fishermen, or surfers. "MerMan" would make a great companion piece for some of the mermaids I have painted for past "Bass in the Grass" auctions. You don't want those mermaids to be lonely, do you?
