We Got More Mermaids!

Back in May, I posted about the Mermaid Swim Team we bought at the Anchor & Palette Gallery on Mount Street in Bay Head, New Jersey. Artist Wendy McCarthy painted those lovely mermaids as part of her Mermoments trilogy (that turned out to be several more than three). London and Maddie have loved having the Mermaid Swim Team in their bedroom in Bay Head for the summer, and we'll be bringing the painting up north to our home in the Roxiticus Valley when we close up our beach house for the season at the end of October.

When we attended the Mermoments show at the Anchor & Palette in July, we were struck by the Mermaid Cocktail Party (shown on the left). While we don't have any space grand enough to display such a large work of art, we had to have these mermaids in our home, too. Luckily, around Labor Day, Wendy McCarthy completed a set of prints and we just picked up our framed & matted Mermaid Cocktail Party print at the Anchor & Palette in time to bring them home with us for the winter.

The Mermaid Swim Team Takes A Vacation from Our Bay Head Beach House...Wendy McCarthy's Show at the Anchor & Palette Opens Friday Night, July 25th!

Almost two months ago, Rex and I wandered into the Anchor & Palette Gallery on Mount Street in Bay Head, NJ, and walked out with the Mermaid Swim Team by local Wall, NJ, artist Wendy McCarthy.

Since then, Maddie and London have been waking up on weekends with a smile to greet the lovely Mermaid Swim Team in their "Rainbow Room" in our Bay Head beach house.

But starting this past Sunday, our Mermaid Swim Team has been on vacation! The Mermaid Swim team is part of the Mermoments trilogy that Wendy McCarthy created for her show at the Anchor & Palette gallery. Mermoments opens with a reception at the Anchor & Palette this Friday night, July 25th, and runs through August 4th on Mount Street in Bay Head, NJ. We met artist Wendy McCarthy, who happened to be at the Anchor & Palette on the day we discovered the Mermaid Swim Team...she was so pleased to be there when the first of her beautiful Mermoments paintings was sold. Wendy put a lot of love into the painting, but she could see we would give it a good home.

Rex, London, Maddie & I will be at the opening reception on Friday night...hope to see you there!
