Morning Song

"Morning Song" is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the serene majesty of a whale gliding through the expansive depths of the ocean. Measuring 12x16 inches and painted on stretched canvas, this artwork offers an intimate glimpse into the peaceful underwater world. The whale is depicted with a shadowy grace, its form diagonally spanning the canvas with its head uplifted, exuding an aura of tranquility and strength. The composition is brought to life with a delicate interplay of light and shadow, as a trail of bubbles accompanies the whale, suggesting fluid movement and depth. The light-colored belly of the whale is elegantly contrasted against the rich, varying shades of blue that form the backdrop, symbolizing the ocean's vast mystery. Light from above filters down, casting a subtle, almost ethereal glow on the whale, further enhancing its grandeur. Unique to this piece is the way the painted scene seamlessly continues onto the sides of the canvas, negating the need for a frame and creating an immersive visual experience. Inspired by a friend's scuba diving encounter off the coast of Maui, "Morning Song" invites viewers to witness the serene embrace of light and ocean, where a humpback whale basks quietly amidst the sunlit sea.
