Passage of the Orcas

Passage of the Orcas is an original acrylic painting depicting orcas swimming through heavily textured waters in shades of blue, grey, and teal. Light filters through blue-tinted clouds above, while gannets fly overhead, capturing the dynamic energy of the scene.

The work evokes the rainy west of Ireland, where orcas are occasionally spotted, and reflects the atmosphere of the rugged coastal waters.

Painted in 2025, the piece emphasizes movement, light, and the presence of wildlife in a dramatic seascape.
