Orca
24" x 36"
"This image was inspired by a week long kayaking trip in teh Pacific
Northwest a few years back. We didn't actually see any Orcas from the kayak,
just a minky whale, pacific white-sided dolphins (that look like small
Orcas) and sea otters. The day after we finished the kayaking trip we went
out in a small zodiac in search of Orcas and saw a nice pod of four. A
mom and her three sons. And we were able to identify the pod from our whale
book and knew their names and ages. The eighteen year old wen under our
little zodiac and surfaced close enough to reach out and touch after echolocation
off the boat. It was the most incredible experience. So the composition
came from that photo but I liked the kayak shape better than the zodiac
shape."
