Creative Tuesdays - Trio

MMm's current theme is 'Trio'. I decided to do some Orca killer whales, inspired by recent ads in the newspaper to visit British Columbia, a western province of Canada. This might look more like Seaworld, sort of unnatural to see three in a row like that in nature, but here it is anyway! It's acrylic (8 1/2"h x 11"w). Please visit the other talented participants or better still join us!

You're getting better at this sort of thing. Keep working on seascapes.

Excellent. Reminds me of the commercial for my Pacific Life Insurance. Great and mighty trio.

How excellent! I've been whale watching. There were 7 in a row, all sleeping, a couple of babies!

This is so sweet! Love your interpretation of "trio."

Christine, this is REALLY clever and I love how the black and white shapes wok against the backdrop to create an almost abstract pattern with the snow. Brilliant. You know what, if only orca whales would do such synchronized swimming, we'd all want to even more be up there in a heart beat I suspect. Love it! Clever use for trio. Thank you! :D

I really like your whales and how you incorporated them into your picture.

I love your orca whales Christine. The minimal use of colour really makes them stand out and look fearfully strong, as they really are.

This is really good, it has a very layered effect, much like a collage using ripped paper instead of cut, very well done :)

Abby / Linda said...

I love this trio, natural or not! Love the broad strokes for that icy feel.

Teri said...

It's like a dance of beauty!

I love this! I think the trio makes it feel more interesting. I agree with Katie, it feels layered, like a collage. :)

This is beautiful and symmetrical! I could see it as a repeated wallpaper pattern. I too love how they are dancing-- great job for trio :-D
