Is it art?



Did you know that dolphins can paint? Because they can. This lovely piece of artwork was painted for me by two young males at work, Croix and Echo. Croix did the blue and the gold paint, while Echo did the turquoise. A third dolphin, Abacco, was supposed to do the gold, but he is apparently more into performance rather than visual art. When he was handed the paintbrush, he sunk under the water and began waving it around creating clouds of gold paint in the water, which he gleefully watched as they dissipated into his pool. Look at it as abstract, and see what you will. Tim saw it as a giant bird pecking a smaller emaciated bird, however I saw it as a person kneeling at a ledge hands on the edge, looking downward. Make of it what you will, but I like it, so there.
