A whimsical bronze sculpture titled "Mermaid Dreams (Maiden)" by Robert Wyland Galleries. Signed with an annotation of 106/200. Edition created in 1994. A native of Detroit, Wyland began painting as a child and attended Detroit's Center for Creative Studies in the 1970s. Wyland's connection with whales began when he was 14 on a visit with his family to Laguna Beach, California where he saw the ocean for the first time and witnessed several gray whales migrating down the California coast towards Mexico. In 1977 he moved to Laguna Beach and in 1981 painted his first Whaling Wall mural at a Laguna Beach parking lot. This original 1981 Whaling Wall was destroyed in 1996, and in 2019 Wyland re-created the mural on exterior wall-mounted canvas with a painted ceramic tile component. Dimensions: 26.25"h x 11.5"w x 14"d. In very good condition.
