This 2018 18” x 24” original artwork is unframed. This original mixed media artwork on heavy watercolor paper depicts a small pod of Pacific white sided dolphins near San Juan island’s Lime Kiln State Park.

Their bigger cousins, the orcas, get the bulk of attention around here, but these dolphins are just as fun to watch zip around the boat and bow ride (which is kinda like dolphin surfing the wave from the front tip of the boat). Traveling in pods up to 150 animals (although I once saw 500), they’ll keep pace with any boat – bow riding, leaping, playing – the entire ocean seems to explode with life.

As always, at least 10% of sales (more when I can manage it) will be donated to various local nonprofits working to restore our Salish Sea and the Cascadia ecosystem.
