Ghost Ship, 20x20 Oil on Canvas by Carmen Beecher

Purchase

After Florida was hit with Hurricane Irma, this sailboat was found washed up on Melbourne Beach. Authorities eventually discovered that the boat came all the way from Key West, hundreds of miles away. Aboard, oddly enough, were two mannequins, a large velvet rose, and a sign that declared, "beatings will continue until morale improves."

Mermaid, 11x17 Graphite on Nautical Chart

I put this chart far away from me and looked at it until I saw something in it--and that something was a mermaid. I elaborated on that until this denizen of the deep appeared.

The Kayakers, 16x20 Original Oil Painting by Carmen Beecher

Just finished this commission. I made a little slideshow of my work in progress. In retrospect I wish I had cropped it, but I'm now too lazy (busy) to redo it. To view the slideshow, which is very short, click on our Pieces of 8 Facebook page at right.
