A wonderful benefit about the A to Z Challenge is that it allows you to blog about things you thought that you already blogged about but didn't. I could have sworn I blogged about my visit to the local art museum to see the Guy Harvey exhibit. I didn't swear and apparently I didn't blog about it.
Who is Guy Harvey? He is an artist, known for his wildlife art mostly featuring marine wildlife. If you have gone to a store at a beach or fish chances are pretty good you have seen his work on t-shirts and hats. He is more than an artist he is also a conservationist and a scientist. He has created the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation and the Guy Harvey Research Institute.

Hanging out with me on a rainy day can be a cultural experience such as a trip to the art museum where we checked out some of Mr. Harvey's work up close..
Here are fish I try to target..
He is best known for his Marlin work..
But my date likes dolphins..
Of course I told her if she didn't have fun I would lock her up..
The museum used to be an old jail. I didn't really lock her up or did I?

Very nice stories!
Wow, Guy Harvey is a great artist! I love marine life, especially the sea turtles. Really liked that turtle piece. The marlin piece was absolutely fantastic!
Thanks for introducing me to this artist Mike.

I like the one with the different fish.
A marlin is what the old man was trying to catch in The Old Man and the Sea. I think that's the only book I've ever read about fishing.
So she gave you a pity date?
I like dolphins, too. (Hope that's not a jailing offense!)
Awesome photos. sounds like a great exhibit. I love Marlins but I don't think I've ever seen one in real life. Of course my fishing experiences have been very limited.
I love the dolphins--and the artist's dogs. I usually notice dogs before I notice people.
Love,
Janie
I love his art style. Thanks Mike.
