I'm really loving the watercolor trend that seems to be popping up this season. It's summery, simple, and so accessible. I'd like to make my own coral print like the one above, available from Driftwood Interiors. These are such pretty little vases. I want one in every color. David Stark's Brushstroke Dinnerware has that greek seaside feel. The bowl is my favorite. Many of you have already seen these watercolor paper cups from Love and Lace. Simple, inexpensive, yet stunning. These painted yellow-striped melamine platters are so cheerful. They make me want to throw a garden party. What about you? Are you feeling the watercolor trend? PS- Just saw this watercolor-dot cardigan at Target. I told you, it's everywhere I look!

Cell to Helix How is all that DNA arranged to fit into a single cell!? Over 3 billion base pairs coiled, wrapped, and jumbled into what eventually looks like a tangled mess within the nucleus. Yet it's somehow still accessible for replication, transcription, and repair--- blows my mind! Trace the purines and pyrimidines from the nucleus to chromosome, super-coil, scaffolding, histones, and finally to the double helix :) FINE ART PRINT • Museum quality fine art paper • Acid-free, 100% cotton rag, lightly textured • Archival pigment inks • Signed by artist • Unframed Use this listing for the Buy 3 Get 1 Free: https://www.etsy.com/listing/229635451/sale All artwork is original, created and owned by Sandra Black. ©Sandra Black http://www.SandraBlackArt.com

For many people in the coastal region, being able to see a blue or a humpback whale is not a rare occurrence, leading to a lucrative bio-marine tourism industry. Ironically, Peruvian beaches are some of the most polluted in the world. I've been involved in two annual beach-cleaning projects and have been stunned by the countless bottles and plastic bags that spread across the shoreline of Lima alone. This is a factor that inspired my piece. My art project is my version of the "iceberg" metaphor: people can only see the portion above the surface but are oblivious to the portion undersea. I feel this is the case in Peru (as in many other countries); people can appreciate the whales yet fail to realize that by continuing to litter the sea with their plastic waste, they are responsible for the extinction of this cetaceous, which may unknowingly mistake the plastic for food. Therefore in my work I portray a whale emerging from the water - while the portion above the water is a regular painting of the animal, the submerged portion is the outline of the whale made completely out of plastic waste. I used acrylic to paint the upper whale and watercolours for the sea and sky. For the submerged portion I made a collage, pasting real plastic wrappers that I had painted and cut to resemble real waste.
