I found a new, to me, Artist!
* I love the joy and freedom in her work, it really appeals to me.
Her website says:
Susan Webb Tregay AWS, NWS, TWSA and Watercolor USA Honor Society, author of Master Disaster, 5 Ways to Rescue Desperate Watercolors [North Light Publishers, 2007] 30 years of professional experience, painting, teaching and judging exhibitions. Her colorful and fun, acrylic and watercolor paintings were developed from her exposure to folk art in Hendersonville, North Carolina.
The walrus is one of the Arctic's most remarkable giants.
With massive tusks, sensitive whiskers, and a body weighing several thousand pounds, this marine mammal is perfectly adapted to life in some of the harshest environments on Earth. While walruses are famous for feeding on large quantities of clams and other shellfish, one of their most extraordinary abilities remains largely unknown.
Hidden within the throat are specialized air-filled pouches that can be inflated when needed. These natural buoyancy chambers help support the walrus while it rests in the water, allowing its enormous body to remain comfortably afloat.
When the pouches are filled with air, a walrus can float almost motionless with its head above the surface and its body hanging vertically beneath the water. This unusual posture allows the animal to relax without constantly swimming or searching for a place to haul out.
The same air sacs also play an important role during breeding season. Male walruses use them as resonating chambers to produce powerful underwater sounds that can travel long distances and help attract mates.
These remarkable adaptations demonstrate how evolution has equipped walruses with unique tools for survival in the Arctic Ocean.
Few sights in nature are as extraordinary as a giant walrus quietly floating upright in the sea, supported by nothing more than air stored within its own body.
