It took me over a week but I finally finished my orcas and wanted to share.  A couple days in it definitely went through an ugly phase but I had the words of my artist daughter in my mind, “trust the process” - so I pushed through and I’m glad I did because it turned out to be a really fun painting with lots of movement and action. The bright colors balance out the black and white orcas and the contrast allows them to really stand out.  A couple days into it I was thinking maybe I included too many orcas but I read that Orcas stick together in a family group for life so here it is - a large happy orca family and friendly people celebrating a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest.  “Magic Happens” 36x48
