About the art:
A Splash Of Color - By Dakota Daetwiler
Dakota painted this in July/August of 2026. The original was an oil painting on canvas. It depicts a mermaid ralaxing on a gondola with her art supplies, creating a painting of the view in front of her. Her tail hangs over the edge of the boat and swishes around in the water to keep her cool while she paints. The beautiful italian canals can be seen behind her, full of tourists mulling about their day amongst the intricate and detailed old buildings. The shimmering water really gives this painting a sunny and warm feeling.
 
These are high quality prints of her original painting (copies) Not an original painting.

Traditional Canvas Print (Signed)
High quality inks and materials, these are the most popular. Canvas prints are hand stretched over wood by Dakota and look the most like traditional art. These take approximately 5-8 days to create, plus shipping time. These usually arrive at your door in about 2 weeks. Canvas prints come hand signed by Dakota with a card that has the name of the artwork and the date your canvas was created.
These will retain value the best out of any print options of her work.
 
Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.
 
Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.
