"Blue Raspberry
Jelly"
12x24" acrylic on canvas
(C) Cara Bevan 2008
After doing “Crustacean Salutation” and a commission
just as complicated, I was longing to paint something
simple. The simplest painting yet has become “Blue
Raspberry Jelly.” Jellyfish are not really fish – they are
invertebrates, related to coral and sea anemones,
and are classed as plankton. Some jellyfish can be as
small as one inch to as large as 200 feet long!
Jellyfish have no head, brain, heart, eyes, or ears.
They don’t have bones, either. Instead they capture
their food with thousands of poisonous tentacles and
digest it in their dome shaped bodies. Because
jellyfish have no bones, they can’t control where the
ocean current takes them. That’s how so many
jellyfish end up on land, from snowy shores to tropic
beaches. Also varying is their poison. On every hair-
thin tentacle is millions of microscopic barbs that have
a poison stored within them. Some poison won’t hurt
humans, others cause mild discomfort, and a rare few
can cause excruciating pain and even death! But
jellyfish are gentle creatures, flowing where the water
takes them. They don’t have a care in the world, and
as long as we don’t encounter them we won’t either.
