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).

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.

One more swarm of jellyfish - now it is the Barrel Jellyfish (Rhizostoma)

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.
