This new Blue Sailor painting is so much fun to paint, even though it’s supposed to be about the mass of micro plastic in our ocean and how jellyfish (and their relatives like the By-the-wind Sailor) take advantage of this oxygen depleted, polluted environment to out compete other species like krill which are already suffering from the melting of ice sheets (their nursery) and as the base of the food chain, will adversely effect so many animals like penguins, seals and whales. The garbage in the sea is expected outweigh the biomass of fish by 2015!

A playful image tackling a serious subject … I get to play with dolls while In the Navy runs through my head all day long!
