I'm a big fan of Michael Parks, my dad is a picture framer and he used to own a shop in the city and he had a few of his prints.

One of my favorites is "Mer Fairy" by Josephine Wall. I'm still quite astounded by the colour combinations she comes up with.

Artist is Waterhouse. I really enjoy it :)

Not a painting, but maybe counts as honorable mention:

Warszawa's coat of arms is a warrior mermaid

The city itself is named after Wars (a 12th century nobleman who owned the village which later became the city) and said mermaid he fell in love with, Sawa, who lived in the Wisla river.
