Description This is a painting I did for my moms birthday.........it's 3 weeks late.

Took me longer than what I thought it was going to...it also didn't help that I got sick the week before my moms birthday. She hasn't seen it yet but I know she'll like it. I was going to do a dolphin for her, but the whole picture would have been too blue so I went with a jellyfish instead. I used some reference photo's but I really just made this up. This was also an experimental piece. If anyone knows how yupo paper works you don't have any control what so ever, but with this I tried to make control and it worked fantastically. I think Im going to have some more fun with this new technique Ive found.

Well I hope you enjoy it.^_^

Done on yupo paper with acrylics and ink.

Why thank you! I love jellyfish as well. I wanted to use complimentary colors for this one....I was going to do a dolphin, but I thought there would just bee too much blue. So went with the jellyfish. I just love all of the shapes and colors these guys come in!^_^

Oh, me too! They are really fascinating! It's crazy how they function too... especially with no eyes, ears, or nose! I think they are supernatural...

OMG it is! Oh, and I miss swimming with the fishies! That is an amazing experience! And to trace your fingers in the river bottom and try to grab sea shells....

Hell yea!! I used to find all sorts of things. I remember when I actually catch a jellyfish. It was really neat to watch cause no matter which direction you turned the container it always knew where it was going. It was awesome!! I also really enjoyed putting on goggles and searching for shells and fish. I remember when I found a sand-dollar.....it was like christmas.

Oh snap!!! a jellyfish?!! I caught a blowfish once, and I was told to throw it back into the ocean cuz it was going to explode....liar!!

Yes it is! I had to tweak some of the colors in this cause it wasn't as vivid as what it is in person. Glad you like it though.^_^
