“Sturgeon in the River” is a painting of a white sturgeon swimming underwater in the Fraser River, British Columbia. Other fish featured are a rainbow trout and a Chum salmon; this piece also features small parts of sparkly paint on the fish and bubbles
was writing about lake sturgeon for a class assignment and showed one of my friends what i'd written.. he then sent part of it back to me with line breaks to turn it into a poem! i just had to draw something for it :]
poem text under the readmore:
lake sturgeon don't know
that they're endangered. They don't know
anything - other than the muck
at the bottom
of the water column
and the occasional passing
touch of another.
really touched by how my friend turned my technical writing into poetry. i haven't tried to write creatively in months, so it's nice to see i've still got it- and nicer still that i could get so inspired by my friend, since i haven't made nature art in a little while, either :>!!
It is the largest species of freshwater fish in North America! Adults can be anywhere from just 1.5 meters to 4 meters long (5 to 13 feet), the biggest white sturgeon on record was 6.1 meters long (20 feet) and 816 kilograms heavy (1 800 lbs), but due to threats old and new like dams, overfishing, caviar production, and pollution, most modern white sturgeon do not quite reach massive sizes.
