New! Portrait of a Northwest Anemone Fish

Well, it took a while but here's my completed Portrait of a rather charming Northwest Anemonefish, an Amphiprium rubrocinctus!

Also known as an Australian Anemonefish or Clownfish, this little fellow hangs around in the Indian Ocean and is localized to the Northern Territories and Western Australia where he enjoys yummy meals of algae and planktonic crustaceans whenever he gets a chance.

Image: Portrait of a Northwest Anemonefish; colored pencil on black paper; original photo by Richardson; imaginary dream surroundings added by yours truly because Dreamyfish Art is a Saturn (realism; botanical drawing) plus Neptune (art, visionary dream surroundings) = real + imaginary sort of thing. Most tropical fish exist in the darker realms of the sea so here we see them ensnared within their favorite dream scenarios, full of color and light!

BP Oil Gusher hearings naming names, says Knightfish

Names are being named for their poor safety decisions that issued from BP's Houston Texas offices just prior to the April 20, 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil and Methane Gas Blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, and frankly I and my little Dreamyfish Art denizens are glad the truth is finally coming out.

More truth, please! And how about some personal accountability while you're at it?

Well, the official committee report is said to be due out in January 2011 and perhaps we'll hear more info as the months go on.

Meanwhile, here's one of my pencil portraits of a denizen of Western Australia for you now...lone reader, I present to you the Honorable Knightfish!

Sea sweep sweeps in!

A specimen of Southern Australia's Sea sweep, Scorpis aequipinnis, has swept in as if to say, Hello from the depths of the oceans!
