Description
{BLEACHED BONE}
First of four Mermay 2020 paintings. Proceeds from the sale of this original will benefit the World Wildlife Fund. My goal was to raise awareness of four crises facing the oceans today by painting four mermaids facing them in their homes.
Coral bleaching is when colorful corals turn white. Corals are actually colonies of small colorless animals called polyps. Their colors come from colorful algae that live inside of them and provide them with food.
When the polyps get stressed, like from heat or pollution, they expel the algae. Eventually, all that’s left are the clear polyps and their white skeletons.
If the coral polyps stay bleached for long enough, they will starve to death.
Done in watercolor and colored pencil on 300gsm cold press watercolor paper, 25% cotton.
