Welcome to Paint Party Friday! Thanks to Eva and Kristin for always hosting. This piece is done in my art journal in watercolour crayon and acrylic (8 1/2" x 11"). It's a beautiful humpback whale. Apparently they were almost extinct but have recovered since 1966 when protection measures were introduced. They are still threatened by fishing nets, noise pollution and collision with ships according to wikipedia.

Love the movement in this Christine...great drawing.
I can almost hear the splash. Have a nice PPF. Thanks for dropping by my blog today
Much love...
That's one majestic whale. I do love whales. I didn't know the humpback was almost extinct at one point.
What a nice fresh picture of the whale Christine :)
Just what I need today, we are having another heat wave :))
Have a beautiful weekend!

Nice picture of the whale! I hope so intensively, that the whales can survive in all over the worlds seas.
Hi Christine. Love your piece. Great job on the whale. I love the sounds they make. Have a great day.
How lovely! Hope for the wales, that humans take more consideration -
Wow, this is fabulous! I'm glad that these beautiful creatures did not become extinct. How sad that would be.
Love how you created the splash. :)
lovely
beautiful! I would love to see one of these creatures in the water (from a safe distance of course:)
Oh I love this! Whales are such magnificent creatures.
You captured the liveliness of the scene beautifully. Blessings!
the horrors they endured by humans has been countless. Most people don't realize how often dolphins are hunted on the coasts of Asia.
Gorgeous animals beautiful painting. We have many that frequent our B.C. coastal waters! A wonderful reminder what preservation can accomplish!

Love the art and the water spray is so good
Your humpback whale is just like the whale on my Pacific Life Insurance booklet. I love the motion you got Christine...I'm excited to be back in the company of wonderful artists like yourself.
Nice whale, I love humpbacks, hope to see one someday.
I so like the feeling of movement, Christine, the humpback is so expressive jumping up. Have a wonderful weekend, sweetie.
Love and hugs
