HORSE: "Caballito de Mar"

Sarah Rendon
Acrylic on Canvas, 8" x 10"

The under water world has always intrigued me. When the theme was announced, I was excited to use the vibrant colors of the sea and of these unique creatures. This opportunity allowed me to learn more about seahorses. Did you know that they change into bright colors when they are in social situations? But most interesting of all, while female seahorses provide the eggs for reproduction, it is the male seahorses who carry the eggs (so only male seahorses have the pouch!)
