Reef, (Err), Madness 36" x 36" acrylic on canvas Painting by Laura Dumm after discussion and a sketch by Gary Dumm Dealing with the Loss of Habitat
Australia's Great Barrier Reef has been home to an incredible diversity of marine life, but, like the proverbial "canary in a coal mine" it now presents a stark warning about global warming. The colorful corals are dying due to the rising temperature of the ocean there: leaving behind only bleached bones and the stillness of a watery graveyard.
