My last trip to Port Stephens led to an amazing (and my first) whale watching experience! As we set off, I took some time to admire the view and snap some photos. I've never tackled a seascape painting like this before - one without a ship or mountain as the subject/focal point. But when I went through my photos, I was immediately drawn in by this one. During a period where I felt so lost and heartbroken after a break up, this painting made me feel at peace. That feeling continued through the process of painting each tiny wave and each sparkle of light on the water. And now, when I look at the finished painting, all I can see is the light.
