Escape to the arctic in this gorgeous painting by Alaska titled "Orca Sunrise". Here a Killer Whale swims near a massive glacier in the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean. Whitworth's use of color and her ability to communicate light, make the scene a classic among her collection where this signature aesthetic is celebrated.
This beautiful animal has enamored the artist since childhood. The iconic sea mammal is a cousin to the dolphin and is commonly found off the west coast of North America where it feeds on salmon and small sea mammals. Here it has flourished among the islands off Alaska's gulf coast, British Columbia, and the waters of Puget Sound of Washington. Over this larger region, the killer whale has mesmerized locals for millennia. With such a strong importance to their daily life, Native peoples throughout the Pacific Northwest have intricately woven the killer whale into their culture where it is still honored to this day.
This Orca Whale painting is also available as a Museum Quality Giclee Canvas signed by the artist in several sizes up to an impressive and large 24x36" fine art canvas. Thanks to this premium printing method, each canvas features incredibly rich colors and beautiful details that pop in a stunning way.
