Any thoughts on cool, but weird, painting(?) - nude women/mermaid kissing diver

This is another piece I found at the thrift store today - I can't tell if it's a painting or a print, but it is a eye catcher!
I'm thinking a painting (watercolor?) because I can't find a signature & if it was made liked/known enough to be made into a print it would be signed somewhere, right?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!



I thought this was a scratched out signature?
2nd is a close up - no pixels; could it be a painting?

 

Dang - sorry I forgot the back
Does it help at all tell age of it?

 

Pretty cool mate, it's almost got a banksy esque sensibility about it

I dig it

What's that behind him a treasure chest ?

I'd think a print of some kind

 

Take it out of the frame for a signature. Looks to be a litho.

 

It's like the diver is imagining the congratulations and future pleasures for finding hidden treasure

But that's just my take

 

yes a treasure chest
I will probably take it out tomorrow to check it - I am curious about it!

 

I'm thinking the diver isn't getting any air anymore and he's hallucinating before his brain quits working - No air bubbles to be seen

 

Has a golden age of science fiction kind of feel to me. And I’m not sure the women aren’t dreaming him, since they appear a good deal more solid. Interesting piece!
