T124A2 Elkugu - Original (PRO)
This winter, before the start of Covid, I completed an artist residency on Vancouver Island. On leap year day, I was whale watching, and had the honour of observing the critically endangered Southern Resident orcas (the J-pod). It was in this moment that I knew these beautiful creatures of the Salish Sea would be my muse. Of the many paintings finished during the two months on the island, this 12x12 inch watercolour painting ‘Elkugu’ remains a favourite. In this painting, transient orca Elkugu is spy-hopping – which provided opportunity to paint the intricate details of the orca, including the eye, eyepatch, and sheen of water. The painterly waves are capped with white. The forested background is full of soft blues and whites.
