Waves I


On Whidbey’s Open Studio Tour I visited an artist who painted the most exquisite waves on silk using an ancient Japanese method.  I wanted to create my own moving waves.  The large waves evolved they became the perfect background for a solitary giant of the ocean and I carefully placed the Orca Whale.

 The Orca whales often traverse the Saratoga Passage on the west side of Whidbey Island, Wa.


 It's been a while but so glad to finish, "Ferry Lights"  an acrylic painting on 16 x 20 canvas.
