A wonderful image of a whale, Annette. I also love your sentiment! We really need to suppress Japan's hunting of whales - they are the true culprets in exterminating these amazing creatures.Doris B. Lambling 22 Jul 2007

Marvelous work with awesome text!!Robin Brown 14 Jul 2007
Sorry Annette but I'd be inclined to say mankind. So many products used by women need whale products too not to mention medical & engineering uses. We're all in this together, me included. I wish we would all wake up. Gorgeous art work & worthy sentiment. Best wishes Robin.Francis Rivera 14 Jul 2007

wonderful creation of a wonderful creation... let us all live in harmoney with nature... you rock annetteMark Saxton 10 Jul 2007
Your choice of colors seem to be so contradictary from the subject, but instead lends itselfwonderfully, and actually complimentary. Great eye for this kind of stuff. Great piece. Good detailRon Atkin 10 Jul 2007
Your text is spot on Annette.......mankind is however short on vision.....they have only been taught from childhood that the material world is to be plundered. As it says in Genesis 1-26 Let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea. The churches have allowed this to mean literally. Why, because they too have their vision focused upon wealth of coin. If we continue with this teaching, then the Earth will become like Mars.Jean M. Laffitau 10 Jul 2007

All creatures are wonderful, Annette. But man demeans himself when he destroys what he in his arrogance has labelled 'lesser life forms.' To me this is a sad piece that shows the sky discolored by pollution and the sea red with death; very powerful stuff.Ginny Lloyd 08 Jul 2007
This has the sense of the whale rising. Nice color in sky!Emily Reed 08 Jul 2007
