Marine Art
by Michael Stark
Michael Stark has been diving for
40 years, and majored in marine biology at Florida State University.
His early years in Florida, the Caribbean and South Pacific afforded a

inspiration. "I've always loved the sea and am drawn there when I
feel the need for peace".

This is an energetic
depiction of the pelagic realm. Usually nearly empty of visible life, the open
sea explodes with diversity when the whales arrive in Hawaiian waters. In
this scene, spinner dolphins swim out from coastal waters to welcome the
humpback pod. Small fish attracted to the safe haven provided by the
whales' bodies are chased by the spinners. As the fish leap from the water
to escape, they are also set upon by frigate birds and a lone gull. The
animals are all moving at high speeds as they approach Maui, hence the title 'A
Day at the Races'. If you have a really vivid imagination, you might see a
camel, a swan and a motorcycle racing in the clouds.
