Original signed painting by Don Stephenson, dated 1984, featuring a surreal fantasy ocean scene with a mermaid-like woman seated atop a rocky outcropping while unusual wide-eyed fish and sea creatures emerge from crashing waves below. Executed in a dramatic monochromatic palette of black, white, and shades of gray.
Signed “Don Stephenson 84” in the lower right corner. Painted on canvas and displayed in a distressed gold-tone wood frame. The unusual subject matter gives the work a distinctive fantasy, nautical, and folk-art character.
