Good Ray Hunting

"Good Ray Hunting" is an original oil painting of an orca hunting a sting ray in the Poor Knights Islands, New Zealand.
One of the top 10 dive spots in the world and one of New Zealand’s first marine reserves, it is a favorite hunting ground for the New Zealand Orca.

This painting was painted from reference photos provided by Dr. Ingrid Visser of Orca Research Trust, (orcaresearch.org). This organization works to support whale and dolphin rescues as well as help with their protection worldwide.

The smaller painting was the tiny 6" square study that I did prior to embarking on the larger painting.
