Description

Don't buy this image, it is only to show what the multi-panels would look like hanging as a group on the wall.

Original Giclee print. It comes either as a long painting/print or a multi-panel painting/print. The multiple set includes the 3 panels 18"X24" or
medium 18"X13.5", or the smaller 9"X12". The long version is 54"X24" or 41.5"X18" or 27"X12". This item will have to be printed on the Mainland and sent to the buyer. It is sent with additional image painted in the canvas margins so that as it is stretched, the image bends around wood bars (called a gallery wrap), and it is ready to hang with no frame needed. It is an original, (multiple original) piece, it is worth more than a regular giclee print.

This is another of my famous whale paintings. Well, they never did become famous, but I did manage to sell every whale painting I did 15 - 20 years ago. Now I am doing them again. This is a Humpback whale breaching, (jumping nearly out of the water) off the coast of West Maui, where there are lot of whales and dolphins. The Maui mountains in West Maui are quite dry as it is the Leeward side and the fairly small island doesn't get that much rain on the Leeward side. But the browns of the drier mountains do contrast nicely with the cooler blues of the ocean. There is a pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins zooming along from one wave to another. I like the stripe and coloring of Spinner Dolphins, very artistic looking. The Spinner Dolphin is named that because they often leap high into the air, spinning as they do so. I didn't
show leaping dolphin in this painting because I thought it would distract from the breaching Humpback which is the main point of painting. I'll do spinning leaping dolphins in another painting. But I do show a surfing dolphin and a mother and a baby Spinner Dolphin, not commonly depicted, as well as a laughing Spinner dolphin which are normally only shown in Bottle Nosed Dolphin pictures.
