It’s always hard to resist the front view on animals with mesmerizing faces! Thank you for your kind words.

The Hank you so much! I guess I do have rather specific taste in what animals and ideas I find “paintable“. Gotta be dramatic lol

The circular forms around each nautilidae are atomic diagrams: copper, gold, and silver. These are the most commonly sited metal ores being harvested from the Bismarck Sea, with copper constituting the vast majority.

Bismarck Sea: Allonautilus and Nautili, 36” x 24”, Oil and synthetic mica on canvas. This painting was made possible by a grant from the Pardicolor Creative Arts Fund and Wildlife Asia. Reference photos for the allonautilus were taken by paleobiologist Dr. Peter Ward. 3/4

They live in deep waters near Papua New Guinea, which makes them a perfect addition to my series - Fortunes of the Bismarck Sea. This group of paintings explores species that might be impacted by deep sea mining near PNG. 2/4

The bees are connected in a daisy chain; this is called festooning. Scientists aren’t sure why bees do this. One hypothesis is that bees can control the temperature of the hive when they flutter their wings towards the entrance in a coordinated effort. I used this to hint at solar winds. 3/3 END

On a micro scale, natural electromagnetics are helping successful pollination.
On a macro scale, the earth itself is heavily influenced by electromagnetics from the sun. I painted sunflowers to hint at this. The swirling background mimics the shapes of solar magnetics in scientific diagrams. 2/?

Research has found that flowers have a negative charge and bees carry a positive one. Since opposite electromagnetic charges attract, bees feel a pull towards flowers that haven’t been visited by other bees recently. The painting’s glowing halos are meant to represent the bees’ positive charges. 1/?
