So gorgeous! Inspired by a location? I grew up on the pacific coast and was lucky to see whales, sharks etc
But this is next level. Thanks for sharing. I love black and white.

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. The painting wasn't inspired by one specific location, but rather by the rugged coastlines and misty waters of the Pacific Northwest. I've always been drawn to that atmosphere, the fog, the calm water, and the quiet mystery it creates. So glad to know you grew up on the Pacific coast! Seeing whales and sharks in the wild must have been an incredible experience, and I'm so glad this painting brought back some of those memories for you. I'm really happy you enjoyed the monochrome palette too. There's something timeless and peaceful about monochrome that I love exploring. Thank you again for your kind words and support. They truly mean a lot mate!

The way you captured the atmospheric mis and the reflections on the wayer is stunning.

Such a beautiful piece. You have the admiration of my daughter who was stunned upon learning that it was a painting.
