Did you know that clownfish have a built-in INSTINCT to not only horde food (since they can't travel far wihout being eaten by predators)... but they also have the INSTINCT to work with the Sea Anemone to survive? Anemones are actually invertebrates that catch food with it's stinging tentacles. A clownfish, which has a natural mucus covering that protects it from being stung, hides in the anemone for protection against its predators, who try to follow it and wind up getting stung and eaten by the anemone. What a great partnership designed by God our Creator!
Here's an interesting article I read about this.
I've been so busy lately and haven't drawn anything in so long. I've come to realize that I really enjoy working with color pencils, and had a lot of fun drawing this. And my "Clownfish in Anemone" actually fit this week's Illustration Friday theme!

The depth of the color and your style has mimic the ocean superbly!
I just love the lushness you've created with this painting---I would have thought it was pastel. The colors are beautiful and the concept is great! I see, from your bio, that we are sisters : ). All the best to you~~
Great to see you posting! I love this little clown fish and am glad you are still working with colored pencils... you know that I am such a fan!
Hope all is well, Lisa
Great illustration for this topic, and wonderfully done as well. I did not know that about anemone. I do know that God created everything perfectly.
beautiful colors and composition!
When I was thinking about what to do, I almost did clownfish for their 'homing" instincts. I went for something else though.
You did a great job on this!
That is beautiful, I love it!

Really great to see someone giving the Creator credit for the beauty and intricacy of His creation. First time on your blog - won't be my last. I came looking for inspiration for some artwork for a coffee cafe we're creating at church. I'm going to go explore...
