Holographite Art
Splatter Game, 2022. // Acrylic on Canvas // 50 cm x 75 cm

Living relatively close to the sea is very inspiring. After a long workday it is relieving to go out to the beach and just watch what the sea brings around, while walking between puddles between the rocks. The weird and cold, underwater look of seaweed can show a lot of different greens, blues and even yellows. I think adding extra splatters of both greens and blues is smuggling in more dynamics to this abstract sea life. #sea #underwater #green #blue #abstractart #art #abstract #artgallery

The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐛💙 Biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra made a surprising finding while examining museum specimens: caddisfly larvae from the early #1970s were already incorporating microplastics into their protective casings.

These #underwater #insects normally build tubes from pebbles, sand, and plant matter. Finding plastic in 50-year-old specimens from non-urban streams shows how long these pollutants have affected even relatively pristine ecosystems.

A caddisfly casing from 1971 showing small blue microplastic particles embedded among the natural materials like pebbles, sand, and organic matter that make up its protective tube structure.

Go Deep to Find Your Bliss.
Life can often feel chaotic. Unbalanced. Stressful.
Try and see that it is just on the surface.
Stop frantically treading water just to stay
afloat amidst the craziness.
Instead, choose to go deep.
Deep down, where the restless tides abate.
Deep within, where inner calm resides.
Where bliss can be found.

On a watercolor background of blue, two thirds of which is water with pale vertical stripes and the top one third a highly textured sky with yellow sun. Frantically treading water at the surface, an orange sullen creature with yellow horns peeks above. At the very bottom of the picture, deep within the water and tied with a string, a pinkish balloon gently floats. Inside it is a red heart. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

[anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]
