A little yellow seahorse for Paint Party Friday. Did you know that seahorses mate for life? Isn’t that sweet? And the males carry the babies which is kinda weird but I’m sure it is appreciated by the females. I think they are cute but Hubby says they are a little freaky. What do you think: adorable and mysterious creatures or slightly creepy freaks of nature?

Such lovely seahorse, cute little guy … loving the colors, so adorable! 😉
I like them! I like the picture too!
Happy PPF. Loving your seahorse, so pretty. Seahorses are such magical creatures. Annette x
I absolutely love seahorses. When I was in San Antonio a few weeks ago they had a pile of seahorses in a tank and I tried and tried to get good photos but a good photographer I am not. Your seahorse is adorable…and they mate for life how sweet! 🙂
Oh I think seahorses are just beautiful. Yours is just awesome, I love it! They are one of Gods beautiful creatures in life. Thanks for sharing your wonderful piece and Happy PPF!
Your seahorse is great. I like them too, and don’t think they are freaky. They are actually amazing and very delicate creatures. Happy PPF!:-)
Love your seahorse! I have not done any watercolor exploration, but you’re making me think twice about that.
And not freaky at all – I think they’re cool.
I’ve always loved seahorses. How do they get around? Your painting is lovely ♥ Rosie
@ rosie – They flutter that little fin on their back really really fast. Sadly, they aren’t very good swimmers and don’t tend to survive when the waters get really turbulent.
sweet as can be ~
Love your sea horse, and I think it’s great that the males do their fair share in bringing up the kids! Happy PPF, Valerie

Seahorses are so intriguing & graceful & your painting captures their beauty so well – lovely 🙂
Beautiful painting, I for one think they are adorable mysterious little creatures.
Delightful little guy. I have always loved seahorses; they just seemed so mystical and magical. Thanks for stopping by my place and Happy PPF!
I love your sea horse. Finally an animal that got it right! We did see them at the Baltimore Aquarium a few years back and they were just gorgeous to watch. Happy PPF!
fascinating magical creatures, and nice work!
How in the world would they know if sea horses mate for life??? Who is getting paid to watch???
Lovely Art Journal page♥
Yours is wonderful!!
(I’ve never seen one live so I’m not sure.)
I love your seahorse…they are amazing creatures and you have captured this little guy in a magical way!!!!
Happy PPF!!!
Cute seahorse! We had some as pets when I was little…we used to love to stick our arms into the tank and let them curl onto our fingers. 🙂
Happy PPF!
Of course adorable and mysterious! We love to watch them in the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Your painting is lovely.
I think they are cute and freaky at the same time 🙂
Definitely fascinating creatures (and yours is wonderful)!

If you see them in their environment, sea horses, are very delicate and transparent …. you have captured its essence. Saludos
I adore seahorses! Such unusual beings. Yours is wonderful.
I like sea horses and yours is lovely!
Big ups to seahorses and their loyalty!
Such a sweet and pretty seahorsey!
I’ve always loved seahorses. I think they are magical. Yours is wonderful! I love the eyes. And such beautiful golden color. 🙂
Oh I’m a BIG seahorse fan, i think its their other wordly appearance that does it for me AND the male doing the pregnancy thing…so weirdly wonderful 🙂
Your painting captures them beautifully, love your colours x
Adorable – I love the blue washes and the spatter on the seahorse. It inspires me to break out of my “usual” mold in my journal and try something new…..
Anything that mates for life is special! Just the fact that the male carries the baby ranks big time in my book! I remember them being very popular as wall plaques when I was a little girl 50 odd years ago. I think them with owls are making a resurgence. Very cute, not sure I’d decorate with them though! Would make a nice painting for a powder room! Good job!
I love your seahorse! I say adorable and mysterious.
Sweet! Ethereal in a fairy tale style.
love your seahorse painting!
Wow, that’s really wonderful.
adroable andmysterious, definitely – this is so well done. i can see this framed in a beach house!
They are cute and sweet! 🙂
I’ve always felt seahorses were unique, but didn’t see the depth of their beauty until we became friends…
Now I am convinced they are brilliant and will amass at Lake Ponchartrain’s edge, swim and bob their way to Lake Maurepas (if some cajun doesn’t eat them first), then hop thru the Magic Forest to my house, which just so happens to be right down the street from The Beguiling Wizard of Whimsy. With triumphant tooting of horns, they shall envelop me with flippers and save me from these Chains of Suburban Mediocrity!!!!
When??? Whenever shall the seahorses come, Sweet Pea??? Have you spoken with them, what did they say, huh, huh, what did they say???
