Thank you!!!! In literature I enjoy the interrelated stories within stories within stories genre: the Arabian nights, the Sufi stories, the Panchatantra etc... and many of those could be considered "drabble" stories set within a larger story. So I like trying to attempt a similar approach with my visual art... and I'm delighted that you caught that!!!! Thank you!!!
This is lovely! I almost thought the seahorse was holding a coffee mug until I zoomed in to see where you clearly labeled it "ink". My first thought was that the coffee would be super watery in the ocean there, but so would the ink! So I guess the point is mute. It is absolutely adorable, though.
Lol!!!! Having coffee while drawing would be a typical "sue thing" to draw!! Yes the ink or coffee would be watery.... hee hee... but then seahorses don't have arms or hands either 😁🤣🤣💚💚💚💚
I’ve got a gecko tattooed on my ankle and have always wanted a seahorse on the other—east coast meets the desert southwest, my two habitats. Maybe this will be the year.
I has a book literally in hand.. with a section about what good Dad’s the male seahorse is ! ‘The Emperor’s Embrace’ - Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson - Outstanding Work ! That aside.. a pair of seahorsies is an iconic reoccurring image.. so - lovin on seein yours.. as a tale ! Outstanding too ! Earth’s Creatures are so iconic.. mythical too ! ..🦎🏴☠️
Ooooh!!! Thanks so much for the title reccomendation!!!! I'm going book hunting!!!! Wahoo!!! And I'm glad you liked my post...thank you for your wonderful comment!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much!!! It's fun to create visual "puzzles" of art within art. I think of it as related to nature in the fractal patterns within patterns motifs sense. And I welcome and appreciate your hugs and am hugging you too!!! 🥰💚💚 I hope your weekend is relaxing too!!
I hope that your ankle heals soon Sue. Wonderful post. :) There certainly is alot going on today, add on health issues and well...it's hard. It's a good thing art is always there to cheer us though!!! I hope that it cheers you up and helps you to heal faster.
Thank you so much!! Yes it is such a hood thing that art is always here for us! I find myself leaning increasingly on visual art, music and literature of all kinds. It cheers and fortifies. I hope your weekend will be relaxing and full of artistic consolations. Thank you again for your kind comment!!! 💚💚💚
I love them too!!! Some time ago we went to one of the aquariums on the Oregon coast and they had live seahorses in a huge tank!!! I was totally mesmerized and enchanted!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

I’m no visual artist, but I have always doodled scrolling circles. 🌀
Aren't they so soothing to draw??? I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who draws spirals, circles and curly-curves.... Thank you!!!
Beautiful
Thank you!!! 💚💚💚
