The squid Loligopsis Veranii II

 Loligopsis Veranii (B. 564), watercolour 2011 (c. 42 x 30 cm)
November 30, 2011 I blogged the squid Loligopsis Veranii. Then I wanted to retry the subject in a dotted style. This is more similar to how it  was originally done in 1851 by Jean Baptiste Vérany, published his “Mollusques méditeranéens” (plate # 38)

Oil on panel

Jellyfish, oil on panel,  100 x 100 cm (2012)
I wanted a painting of a specific size for a special place on my wall.
In that sense,
I needed a piece of furniture,
to blend in with its environment.
Here it is.
The painting in its natural environment

Souvenir de France

When in France in June, 
I found this glass jellyfish
 in a souvernir shop in Blois
(Loire valley). 
The shop assistant told 
that it was of Chinese make.
