dc No 171: something from the ocean




You'll find here in the Lionpalace 'something from the ocean' in every corner









alive


and similar










Jellyfish peony [Cnidaria paeonia]





For this week's drawing challenge with the theme 'something from the ocean'
I got inspired by browsing through 'Art forms of Nature' by Ernst Haeckel

This chandelier (see above) hangs in the Musée et Institut océanographique de Monaco and was made after his drawing of a jellyfish... Art nouveau as its best! As I photographed the oyster and the garlic, my eye felt on the peony... in my mind the jellyfish.

I have painted my 'jellyfish peony' with water color and syrup (the pistil). For more from 'something the ocean' please swim over to Veronica's haven: she is the host with this fabulous theme. Thank you!

  4. All das Meeresgetier ist mir bei dir noch nie aufgefallen, aber wunderschön ist es auf jeden Fall und deine Herzchen verschiessender Pfingstrosen-Jellyfish scheint in einem Meer aus Liebe zu schwimmen.

    1. Meine riesige Muschelsammlung ist in der Burg geblieben... aber ich war ja im Frühjahr in Portugal, da gab es noch ein paar neue Muscheln ;-)
