Wildlife Jewels hosted its Paint the Jewels of La Jolla at Kellogg Park, a community art activity celebrating real coastal wildlife observed, documented, and helped through local conservation efforts.✨💜💎
Inspired by some of La Jolla’s precious wildlife inhabitants we’ve observed, documented, and helped rescue, the community helped bring two canvases to life through color, creativity, and care. Participants also drew inspiration from our wildlife paintings on display, learning about each real animal featured in the artwork.
The pieces became a beautiful reflection of wonder, connection, and appreciation for the wildlife that makes this coastline so special.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating La Jolla’s magical wildlife.

Jewels of La Jolla Spotlight ✨Meet Aquamarine the Brandt’s cormorant💎
Simply beautiful. ✨Shining a light on one of the magical bird jewels of La Jolla💜💎
Meet Aquamarine, a majestic Brandt’s cormorant resting on his nest. During nesting season, Brandt’s cormorants shift into breeding condition—those electric blue “jewel” eyes and the vivid blue-turquoise throat skin become especially striking. These seasonal colors are part of their breeding display.
Aquamarine was also posing with his head tilted up—almost sculpting a shape with his body. That classic “look-up” posture can be a breeding-season display often used to show off the bright throat patch💙
His calm presence and shimmering colors made a lasting impression, and he is now part of our Jewels of La Jolla educational arts program—celebrating the wildlife who inspire wonder, care, and conservation. 💎
