Goddess of the Sea Quality Lost Wax Statue, Sea Nymph Bronze

Sea nymphs, or little goddesses of the sea, were originally the fifty daughters springing from the marriage of Nereus and Doris of Greek mythology. No doubt there are more than fifty sea nymphs swimming today’s oceans. To celebrate these lovely sea creatures, I wish to recommend to you this lovely statue…

Here is a beautiful bronze statue of a nude Sea Nymph with a companion dolphin.

Drawing upon an art decor antique statue, this replica bronze echoes the tactile curves and fluidity of form of a beautiful young Sea Nymph and the dolphin leaping at her side.

Reminiscent of the pairing of women and the sea in the tradition of Venus, “Goddess of the Sea,” leads the eye to behold and praise, not only a classic art form, but a skillful rendition. This replica bronze is based upon the work of Swiss artist Edouard-Louis Collett (1876-1957).

The sculpture is expertly finished with a hand-applied two-tone multidimensional sepia and color-washed emerald verde patina and is set atop a solid black marble base.

Each “Goddess of the Sea” bronze statue is individually cast in the traditional lost wax method, which highlights the sculptural uniqueness and guarantees heirloom quality.

Color patina is applied by hand one piece at a time, tone may vary slightly.

Mounted on a solid marble base.

The Spell Wars raged for more than a century, leaving behind ghostly remnants that often require exorcism. Master Wizard Durill, his feckless apprentice Arpad Zen and his irritable familiar Morasha are shipwrecked. Arpad Zen finds magical challenges ashore with wreckers, Morasha, bound to the body of an ogre, is pursued by irate villagers, and Durril becomes the love slave of the beguiling sea nymph Rusalka. In his efforts to escape a fate that gives new dimensions to the phrase “a fate worse than death,” Durill risks drowning at any instant, unleashing magicks so potent they could reignite the Spell Wars.

See this TITLE: Romare Bearden: The Caribbean Dimension



Romare Bearden (1911-1988), the great African American artist, spent much of the last two decades of his life on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. This tropical experience influenced not only the work (mainly watercolors) that he produced while in the region but also the imagery of rural North Carolina and Harlem that he created during his final and most productive years. Best known for his paintings and collages of jazz and the rural South, he was honored by a major retrospective of his life’s work at the National Gallery of Art in 2003. Bearden was explicit that, for him, the Caribbean was vital. “Art will go where the energy is. I find a great deal of energy in the Caribbean. . . . It’s like a volcano there; there’s something unfinished underneath that still smolders.”

In this full-color work, lavishly illustrated with 130 Bearden paintings as well as many photos of him and his friends in St. Martin, distinguished scholars Sally Price and Richard Price explore Bearden’s Caribbean experience with an insider’s eye. Friends of Bearden, such as poet Derek Walcott and writer Albert Murray, contribute their critical assessments of Bearden’s legacy, through interviews with the authors. Commentary by others, such as James Baldwin, Alvin Ailey, and Ralph Ellison, help round out the picture.

The book focuses on several themes that Bearden treated in his Caribbean work. In his “enchanted places,” a lush forest provides the setting for sensuous female nudes. His “Obeah series” explores the mysteries of local religious life, depicting a variety of ritual specialists in trance. And his “Carnival series” bursts with the energy of that quintessential Caribbean celebration. In this book, the Prices reassess Bearden’s Caribbean experience, locating it at the very center of his artistic legacy.

Generally, Sea Nymphs are thought top be beautiful mermaids with long, flowing hair, pale skin, full pink lips, willowy figures and long fish-like tails. Once on land, they are able to grow legs. Often they are found to be vain creatures, a weakness that often comes in handy when mortals deal with these sometimes dangerous minor goddesses.

Like other nymphs and dryads, ocean nymphs are responsible for the region of the ocean that is theirs to care for. This means that she can control the ocean and all ocean dwelling animals.

In Greek mythology, sea nymphs have captivated countless seafaring men with the charm of their dance and the allure of their songs. And like the Water Elementals they are related to, they can transform into water, to either travel through water at ease, or to to use water as a form of hiding.

Some Facts About Donuts

Originally, this deep fried pastry was called a doughnut, but around 1969 it became fashionable to shorten the word “dough” to “do” and it has been donut ever since.

Some people say that only thing better than a donut is a FREE donut with sprinkles! But not everyone agrees, there is a camp of doughnut lovers that say that the better part of a donut is the coffee that comes with it.

Not every doughnut starts out as dough in a deep fryer, cake donuts are baked and then glazed lightly or covered in cinnamon-sugar.

By the way, guess how much it cost to make a ready to eat donut? The answer is approximately 12 cents! And when you are in the bakery, most likely you will find long johns, maple bars, crullers and donut holes next to your favorite, traditional glazed treat.

And finally, everyone wants to know the answer to this cooking question: Why do doughnuts have holes?

The precurser of donuts were fried cake-like biscuits. But these never seemed to fry just right. Then it was discovered that by punching a hole in the middle of the fried cakes, the insides of the cakes would cook as evenly as the outsides and the better by the dozen donuts were born.

Buy this TITLE: The Donut: A Canadian History



In Canada, the donut is often thought of as the unofficial national food. Donuts are sold at every intersection and rest stop, celebrated in song and story as symbols of Canadian identity, and one chain in particular, Tim Horton’s, has become a veritable icon with over 2500 shops across the country. But there is more to the donut than these and other expressions of ‘snackfood patriotism’ would suggest. In this study, Steve Penfold puts the humble donut in its historical context, examining how one deep-fried confectionary became, not only a mass commodity, but an edible symbol of Canadianness.

Penfold examines the history of the donut in light of broader social, economic, and cultural issues, and uses the donut as a window onto key developments in twentieth-century Canada such as the growth of a ‘consumer society,’ the relationship between big business and community, and the ironic qualities of Canadian national identity. He goes on to explore the social and political conditions that facilitated the rapid rise and steady growth of donut shops across the country. Based on a wide range of sources, from commercial and government reports to personal interviews, The Donut is a comprehensive and fascinating look at one of Canada’s most popular products. It offers original insights on consumer culture, mass consumption, and the dynamics of Canadian history.
