Fantasy Art Sea Creatures Contest winners and a few other outstanding works in the genre

Seahorse - Spirit of Contentment by Carol Cavalaris
available for sale HERE
FIRST PLACE (shared with Artful Oasis)

For this contest, there were two first place winners, three second place winners and three third place winners. All were chosen by Fine Art America members. The honorable mention for "most inventive piece" is chosen by the administrator of the group, Fantasy Art for Home and Office. A few other pieces were featured too, to give the niche of fantasy art more exposure.

Carol Cavalaris who made Seahose - Spirit of the Sea had this to convey about her piece (a kind of poem):

Seahorse
creature of contentment
symbol of good luck
you roam the sea
slowly and gently
with the currents
like a tiny dragon
of the deep
accepting the ebb and flow
as you survey all that is
around you
with inner vision
teaching me
to look
with my physical
and spiritual eyes
at all that is around me
so I can see
what makes me truly happy

This is what the piece can look like framed and as a tote bag:
