This 2017 18” x 24” original artwork is unframed. It was created with ink and acrylic paint on heavy water color paper.

Here are Stellers at Whale Rocks, one of their favorite congregation spots when they come to the Salish Sea between mating seasons. Well, the “loser dudes” come to congregate, commiserate and practice fighting for the next season. A lucky few get to stay out on the Pacific Coast with the ladies, a spot they’ve literally fought everyone else for, and won. It’s because of their natural aggression that males live only about half as long as females.

As always, at least 10% of sales (more when I can manage it) will be donated to various local nonprofits working to restore our Salish Sea and the Cascadia ecosystem.
