In honour of my most viewed blog post, '
Pirates of the Caribbean and Those Mermaid Vampire Things' I am doing another mermaid themed post just few pics, nothing specific, here goes.
 |
| Lttle Mermaid by Norman Lindsay. |
 |
| Mermaid by Franz Von Stuck. |
 |
| Mermaid's at Play by Arnold Bocklin. |
 |
| The Mermaid by Charles Haslewood Shannon. |
 |
| A race with Mermaids and Tritons by Collier Twentyman Smithers. |
 |
| Catching a Mermaid by James Clarke Hook. |
 |
| Mermaids Frolicking in the Sea by Charles Edouard Boutibonne, 1883.
|
 |
| A Mermaid by John William Waterhouse, 1901. |
 |
| The Mermaid by Howard Pyle, 1919. |
P.S. the date is questionable on this one, I got it from Wikimedia which also puts Pyle's death at 1911, sooo... yeah.
Going through my post list I've just realised a terrible glitch to the system, Saturday's
Wild Things was not my 100th post, I had a few double up drafts which were being counted in my total and this post is only my 99th making my next post my 100th. Tragic though this may be I believe with the support of our friends and family we can make it through.
I'll see you next time for my actual 100th post.
I absolutely love your blog, it's just up my street.
ReplyDeleteI've had a go at being a mermaid myself, it wasn't one of my better looks, I have to say.
At least I tried.
:)
Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to be a mermaid when I was younger, now I'd probably go for something more like a Valkyrie or a Nymph:)
