"Whale watching" - Original Artwork

If you've ever been whale watching, you understand that this painting could never really capture the experience. But I hoped to paint the feeling of the experience.

This painting invites you to escape into a world of natural wonder, promising to be a cherished addition to your collection, evoking a sense of peace and admiration. This artwork invites you to escape into a world of natural wonder.

This is a 9x12 original watercolor painting with a clean white .5" border. This arrives  unframed unless framing is requested.

If you would like your art custom framed, please contact me before ordering.

How to hang framed canvases:

1. Framed canvases arrive ready to hang. Use the small ledge between the wooden frame and the canvas. They are designed to hang flush against the wall if you choose this method. 

2. Alternatively, you can also use a wire hanging kit. I have created detailed instructions for how to do this here.

Saw tooth hangers are not recommended.

How to hang unframed prints:

For unframed canvas prints use a wire hanging kit.
