Belle Orque, is French for Beautiful Orca and I named this piece accordingly as I started learning French the week I completed the work.

This piece beautifully captures the magnificence of a breaching Orca using the intricate pointillism technique and is testament to meticulous attention to detail, extreme patience and my love and commitment to this style. Orca took over 25 hours to complete and is truly stunning. The piece has been professionally framed with black wood, silver trim and finished with a double matte board and non-reflective glass.

Orca fun facts: Orcas aren’t whales
Despite being called killer whales, orcas (Orcinus orca) are actually dolphins. Historically, sailors took to calling these marine mammals whale killers after witnessing them preying on whales and other marine mammals.

Over time the name changed. While these large animals are apex predators that threaten fish and other animals, as of 2013 there’s never been a record of wild orcas attacking humans.
