Shimmers

Here is a humpback whale diving deep into the ocean to discover untold wealths of crystals, diamonds, sapphires, rubies and more... Here, it's only just touched the surface of such treasures.

Hanging on to his flipper is his companion, a turquoise haired, purple tailed mermaid.

This is symbolic of the way the ocean needs to be treated with respect. Who knows what riches (aka animal species) might be waiting to discovered, to be learned about?

I painted this for an Underwater Fantasy competition-- just go to this [link] to learn more.

Acrylics, with iridescent medium painted over the whale's eye, and the crystals. It's a really neat effect! It shimmers! Measures 8x10x1, gallery wrapped and the sides are painted.
