Paintings Can Help SSCS & The Ocean: Please comment & vote for 3 paintings

The Unlucky Seven Of Global Irresponsibility

Acrylic on Canvas  48″ X 40″

This painting depicts the awareness of the “Recipe For Disaster” that is affecting us all. Global warming is being caused by this Recipe and is now showing great impacts to the blue heart of the planet. From Oil to Plastic the industrial actions have created some very noticeable reactions that we cannot put a blind eye towards anymore. The turtle is depicted in this painting since all seven species are either threatened and/or endangered due to the industrial revolution. I believe from my research doing this painting and many others is that in the last 50 to 60 years we have forced the decline of 90% of all our natural resources and species on this planet.

Handful Of Screams Call Out For Worldwide Protection

Acrylic on Canvas 48″ X 40″

(If you like the Sea Shepherd You may want to vote on this one because it will bring the awareness to the SSCS by the “Bob Barker & Steve Irwin” depicted in the Painting!)

I created this painting to bring awareness to the destructive measures forcing the plight of the ocean. From polluted bodies of water – dumping of chemicals – and oil spills to name a few, all lead to the ocean and cause destructive damage. I aim to show people the real story of what is now, and that we can change our actions to help the much larger picture, which is a healthier ocean that transforms into a much healthier planet.

The industrial revolution has placed major strain on the ocean, which we are only now seeing. Global Warming has caused disastrous effects to this great blue body of the planet.
