Pansy No2

Pansy No2
Pansy No2, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:

The Pansy, it would seem, is one of the most alluring of all garden flowers. Its little faces make most of us laugh when we look at them. The English have given the Pansy many nicknames, such as Call-meto-you, Love-true, Three-faces-under-a-hood, Pink-eyed-John, Tickle-my-fancy, Bird's-eye, Jump-up-and-kiss-me, God-father, Godmother, Love-in-idleness, Kiss-me-in-the-buttery, Rob-run-the-street, and Heartsease.

With such names, it is not strange that the French call it pensee, for this word means thoughts. Yet with all the Pansies' charms, there are some persons who do not grow them. I love the little charmers. This is number 2 that I have painted the other was over a year ago but its spring and I see them everywhere, so I must paint them.

Turtle and Clown Fish, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:

The shell of a turtle or tortoise is made up of about 50 bones that are all connected together. This tissue is very much alive, not like dead tissue found in hair or finger nails. Tortoises also have the ability to store sperm, sometimes producing fertile eggs three years after their last mating.

Snoozing

Snoozing
Snoozing, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:

There was a pelican out in the bay in front of my studio just taking a nap on a post so I had to paint one.

Unlike most birds, which warm their eggs with the skin of their breasts, pelicans incubate their eggs with their feet. They hold the eggs under the webs that stretch from the front toes to the hind toe, essentially standing on the eggs to warm them. This peculiar incubation method made them vulnerable to the effects of the pesticide DDT. The DDT made the eggshells thin, and the incubating parents frequently cracked their eggs.

Pink

Pink
Pink, painting by Delilah Smith

About This Painting:

Flamingos feed on brine shrimp. Their oddly-shaped beaks are specially adapted to separate mud and silt from the food they eat, and are uniquely used upside-down. The flamingo's characteristic pink colouring is caused by the Beta carotene in their diet.

The source of this varies by species, but shrimp and blue-green algae are common sources; zoo-fed flamingos may be given food with the additive canthaxanthin, which is often also given to farmed salmon. Flamingos produce a "milk" like pigeon milk due to the action of a hormone called prolactin (see Columbidae). It contains more fat and less protein than the latter does, and it is produced in glands lining the whole of the upper digestive tract, not just the crop. Both parents nurse their chick, and young flamingos feed on this milk, which also contains red and white blood cells, for about two months until their bills are developed enough to filter feed.
