Dolphins are great sea creatures known for their intelligence and friendliness. The bond' between dolphins and humans goes back thousands of years and that is probably why dolphin paintings are very popular.
As the ancient Greeks considered the dolphin sacred to the god Apollo, it is now wonder that images of the dolphin are seen in coins, pottery, and walls. Dolphins are also popular with sailors and their presence near ships is regarded as a sign of a safe and smooth journey.
Unlike other most sea creatures, dolphins are mammals, not fish. Mammals feed their young with milk produced from the mother's body.
Unlike fish, dolphins have lungs and are warm-blooded. Dolphins are great zoo and amusement park attractions and they've been trained for this since the mid-1900. Below are artists found on the Internet whose paintings include dolphins, tropical fish, and other animals found in the ocean.
