Pool Buddies

Tide Pool that is!
It has warmed up and there is Sun. I was searching through some photos I took at Cannon Beach and found a few of a tide pool at the base of haystack rock. The sea stars were coral colored in some and purplish in others. They look very similar to me - same family different mood? The anemones were mostly green and alive looking but several had a beige washed out look with spots of pink and mossy green. There was a big clear jellyfish on the sand, looking very unattractive. All the mussel shells were open and empty. Sea stars had a feast. For the fun of it, I painted this little trio.
