From the Artist:
Watercolor, pencil and ink on paper.
A pod of whales swim closely together in a section of healthy ocean. Unencumbered by pollution and commercial whaling, these gloriously vibrant, smarter-than-you-think mammals travel through their vast aquatic homeland freely and without fear. This dream is a whale's dream; it is mankind's responsibility to make it reality.
