“Orca Family In Mist” was painted on canvas in acrylics and is 36 by 48 inches in size. An abstract art work splashed and brushed in muted blues and greens before the killer whales and misty ocean landscape found their way into the painting.

A killer whale is caught in action emerging in paint out of an abstract visual art piece. As a Vancouver Island wildlife artist I love painting animals close to home in my Victoria, BC studio.

This canvas wall painting started as abstract art created with large blue and green brush strokes in an action painting technique. As a Vancouver Island abstract artist I often focus on large movements of paint on a canvas in a quick expression.

Large blue gestural brushwork and spontaneously applied acrylic paint were expressed onto this abstract art canvas to suggest the movement of water in the ocean foreground. I think the abstract painting is the most important part of artworks like this and sets up the whole piece.
