July 14th is World Orca Day!
This piece recently sold and is one of my favorite paintings. I love the west coast of BC, the ocean and misty grey days, the smell of the salt air and most of all, having the great pleasure of spotting a pod of orca whales.
'Legacy & Hope - J-Pod Orcas' 18 x 24. original has sold, however, prints will be available soon.
Brief description about Legacy & Hope - J-Pod Orcas
The setting for this painting is a group of smaller islands around the Rack Rocks Ecological Reserve. The orca whales portrayed here are the beloved J-Pod. The Orca whale depicted in the middle was named 'Granny' J-2, who biologists believe lived till she was 101 years old, the legacy. The whales leading the way through the passage are Princess Angeline J-17 and her calf, Kiki J-53, the hope. And the big male guarding the back of the group is Big Mike J-26, named after Marine Biologist Michael Biggs, who was responsible for discovering the unique identification markings that each killer whale has displayed on their saddlebacks and their dorsal fins.July 14th is World Orca Day!
