What's that thing in Andrina's hair?

Growing up I thought it was a clam shell. Someone online suggested a sea fan. But actually, I think it's part of a huge sea flower! Whether it's an individual petal plucked from a flower, or a chunk someone had to cut out with a sawfish ("it's a living!") I can't say. But it definitely has the ripples, texture and color of an aquatic flower.

Her pompoms at Sebastian's concert appear to be macro-algea.

I’ve been working on a new series of paintings called “sea garden”. These are all intuitive abstract works resembling underwater gardens. I wasn’t planning to do so many but I found them to be very therapeutic to work on. Which one is your favourite? . . . . #seagarden #underwater #underwaterplants #seaweed #seafan #seafern #oceanlife #blueart #greenart #waterplants #intuitiveart #intuitivepainting #intuitiveabstract https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1DB6RBGay/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was much delayed due to me coming down with Covid. Fortunately I recovered and was able to finish this. This is another land/seascape of Proxima B (a real planet that I'm speculating life on). This features some of the lifeforms that inhabit the coastlines in and out of the water. I've included some organisms that I've depicted in previous pieces but with a clearer view of them. Here's a quick rundown of them.

Lesser Razorback: a medium sized herbivore that favor running blades (the grass-like organisms around it) that grow along the shores.

Sandpiker Wyvern: small wyverns that probe the sand for organisms that burrow in it.

Skimmer Wyvern: Wyverns that soar just above the water to skim for prey using their specialized teeth.

Shoaling fishamander: Small filter feeding fishamanders that form large shoals as anchovies and sardines do on Earth.

Seadics: small predators that can glide temporarily using disc shaped membranes.

Sea Pooka: An otter-like Pooka that dives for shelled invertebrates.

Sea Wyvern: A flightless wyvern species with a lifestyle akin to penguins and auks.

Lesser Seaspinner: A smaller Seaspinner species that inhabits shallow waters along the coasts.

Kelp Seafan: A marine species of fan that is much darker than their terrestrial counterparts to better photosynthesize

Sea scale: mollusk like invertebrates that feed on bacteria that grow on rocks and other surfaces.

Reef Hopper: crab-like relatives of the more insect-like springers that feed on kelp fans and carcasses that fall to the bottom.

I might make a page devoted to fishamander species as there would be much many more than what I've shown.

As always, comments and critiques are welcome.

NTF - Wps cobdemns China's ramming, water

Cannon attacks vs PH vessels

I watch the news from GMA 7, where the chinese vessels necklessly and harrassed a philippine vessel once again. According to the National Task force - West Philippine sea, the philippine civillian supply vessels is conducting a resupply mission to the sierra modern when the china coast guard harassed, blocked and executed dangerous marevvers against philippine vessels on December 10, 2023

On my point of view, chinese are now becoming more violent on philippine vessels. They are getting more out of respect. To the filipino people especially to our fishermans. The philippine government should condemn the chinese vessels and should do a proper action for these chinese people to stop this treatment to philippine seafaners.

new words - carillon and seafan

This is turning out to be such a beautiful book, and this is one of my favorite moments yet. I love nature writing in general, and McCarthy is so good at capturing the beauty of nature and mundane humanity at once. Carillon – a set of fixed chromatically tuned bells sounded by hammers controlled from a keyboard Sea fan (McCarthy removes the space, but it is not usually written that way) – any…

Check out this listing I just added to my Poshmark closet: VINTAGE Coro SeaFan Fan Brooch.

This huge purple gorgonian or #seafan may look like a plant but it's actually a filter feeding coral animal. Its #polyps each have eight tentacles that catch particles drifting past on the current. The fans can grow to 1.5m in height, which this one must be pretty close to. The skeleton and tissues of the fan contain compounds which are distasteful to most predators, with the exception of a very special #nudibranch which feeds on it, and then absorbs the metabolites into it's own tissue, turning them into it's own defense mechanism. I'll never look at a sea fan in the same way again! They may appear boring but actually they are really fascinating creatures. #sprinklesaltonyoursoul 🎥@soulwaterproductions @adriennegittusphotography Thanks to @ende.sascha for the great tune.

Scuba diving and women??? 🤔 Sure, of course - Diving Women - happy ever after 💙 💙 That's why: every of our dive is a women dive too - mostly behind the camera, sometimes in front of the lens! Images are taken in the Caribbean Sea around Curacao, in lake Fernsteinsee / Austria and in Baltic Sea. Enjoy the WOMEN'S DIVE DAY!!! #women #womensdiveday #womensdive #seascape #stockfootage #underwater #video #naturepicsfilms #caribbean #ocean #curacao #turtle #seaturtle #baitball #schooloffish #coral #coralreef #softcoral #sponge #seafan #suex (hier: Playa Kalki) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCx0U9ygyiS/?igshid=ylt0kqgim3as

First sea fan coral done. Oooh this is so pretty, so nervous I am going to screw it up, hehe.

This is another blast from the past; a seascape piece featuring a hypothetical environment from the real world planet Proxima B. This depicts some of the ocean life for this world, two of which I gave glimpses of in my last piece dedicated to Proxima B. I'll try to give a quick rundown of the lifeforms shown here (I make a lot of references to much older posts related to Proxima B).

Titan Fishamander: Growing up to 84m long, the Titan Fishamader is the largest organism on Proxima b. They feed on anything that enter their gaping mouths though its mostly consists of smaller marine organisms (indicated by the swirling colors in the water).

Killer Fishamander: They are Proxima B's equivalent to orca's in behavior and size (slightly over 10M). Killer Fishamanders travel in small pods that pursue prey in the water and on the shores which they can pursue thanks to their powerful lobbed fins.

Seaspinner: Dolphin-like relatives of the smaller, insect-like Springers, Seaspinners travel along the shores in large pods hunting smaller organisms.

Seadiscs: Seadiscs are an equivalent to flying fish from earth accept with more circular fins and descended from terrestrial ancestors. They are among the smallest members of a family of carnivores that incudes Drakes, Cockatrices, and the sapient Proxima Centaurians.

Kraken Seafans: Hailing from a family of photosynthesis plantanimals, Kraken Seafans are the most mobile of their group and even occasionally hunt smaller prey for extra nutrients along with photosynthesizing.

Leviathan: The Leviathans are solitary ambush hunters who are they apex predators of Proxima B's oceans. At over 40m in length, they are the largest members of their family, even out sizing their terrestrial counterparts the Kur whom are their closest living relatives.

I really did miss doing these creatures and may even do a smaller piece depicting smaller oceanic/shoreline organisms of Proxima B.

As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
