"Whale Song" the first piece in my "Under the Sea" series. This artwork is a rich tapestry of oil paint layered over mixed media, incorporating inks, shimmering gold leaf, modeling paste, and acrylics. Drawing inspiration from my recent return to North Queensland, the piece reflects the breathtaking beauty of the Great Barrier Reef that now lies at my doorstep. The fluidity of the colors and textures evokes the serene grace of the ocean, while the gold leaf adds a touch of ethereal elegance, capturing the essence of marine life. A great statement piece to any homes by the beach or coastal towns. Or for anyone who appreciates the majestic presence of whales.
