How can something so beautiful be so annoying? These floating invertebrates, with stinging tentacles, typically drift into near-shore waters on the tide, between seven and 11 days after the full moon each month. Box jellyfish stings hurt, but are usually not fatal. A group of jellyfish is called a bloom, a swarm, or a smack. A large bloom can contain 100,000 jellyfish.

There are several types of jellyfish in waters around Hawaii including the box jelly, moon jelly, spotted jelly and Portuguese man-o’-war. Jellyfish have very short life spans. Minuscule species only survive for a few hours. Other jellies live a few days, months, or up to a year.

My colorful painting was done using the acrylic pouring technique. This technique is perfect for creating great abstract backgrounds. The pink jelly looks as if it's floating in water.
