Greenpeace are having an art challenge to draw or paint the glorious Manta-Rays this week to raise awareness of the pollution of our oceans that puts such beautiful creatures as these at risk; this was my offering, with a Manta-Ray just breaking the surface at speed; enjoy! Love and God bless, Andy

Beautiful!

Thank you Emma for that lovely comment; peace & love; God bless, Andy x

Almost perfection, Andy. The only difference being, that if you go to put your hands in that water, your realise it's not real. Unbelievable, that it isn't.

Thank you Jacqueline for that comprehensive feedback! much appreciated; peace & love; God bless, Andy xx

Well done Andy on all counts

Thank you dear Heather for that lovely comment; peace & love; God bless, Andy x

Stunning Andy, the comprehensive use of blues is well thought out! The Manta Ray puts me in mind of a holiday I had on the Australian coast snorkelling ! A great reminder of things to come again ... xx

Thank you dear Linda; sounds absolutely idyllic; must have been wonderful, the stuff of dreams! love and God bless, Andy xxx

Thank you, dear Carole, for your lovely comments; it sounds like you had an amazing experience fo the wonderful rays! much love and God bless, Andy 🙂❤x
